Hi Michał,
Thanks for the intriguing report.
The error is coming from the invocation of dpkg-deb which runs
["tar", "-x", "-m", "-f", "-", "--warning=no-timestamp"]
Do I take it that on your system dpkg-deb exists but is entirely
non-functional because it can't actually work with any archives?
If that's the case, I guess the real solution is fixing dpkg-deb. In the
meantime, I'll need to think about how the test can navigate its way
around a broken dpkg-deb being installed — at present, it assumes that
the tools it finds are not broken.
regards
Stuart
