Hi all,
we found some issues with libarchive and some file names when using the C locale. For example try $ bsdtar tf ca-certificates-20111025-1-any.pkg.tar.xz (from testing) The result will be "bsdtar: Pathname in pax header can't be converted to current locale." Fun fact: The package was created using the C locale. Due to this pacman will refuse to install this package when using the C locale which is used e.g. by our build tools.
Has anyone tested whether the package is created correctly using the previous version of libarchive? The previous ca-certificates package has non-ASCII filenames in it too and worked fine, so I would suspect this is an issue with the current libarchive.
Downgrading libarchive is not enough. So maybe not a libarchive issue. And rebuilding the ca-certificates package that is in [core] results in the same issue. So what has changed between the time the package in [core] was built and now to cause this issue? Allan
