Great, thanks. Somehow I doubt that getting Archive::Tar fixed upstream is going to be particularly easy. Or quick. Seems they've got open bugs from more than a decade ago, including some marked Critical. https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Archive-Tar Would it be an idea to change the EXTRACT_CMD to use ptar(1) (comes with Archive::Tar) for perl modules, even if only temporarily?

Re: tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format
I have found the cause. The recently introduced field checks are not compatible with archives created by Archive::Tar. To be true, Archive::Tar violates the ustar tar header specification. I will take a look how to solve this. Cheers, mm Quoting Mathieu Arnold : Le 01/12/2016 à 10:49, Martin Matuska a écrit : could you please be more specific?

Hi Matthew, could you please be more specific? Can you tell me the port names or give links to the messages? Thanks, mm Quoting Matthew Seaman : There seem to be a lot of pkg fallout mails all with the same error: tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format This is affecting package building on head -- mostly perl modules from what I'm seeing, but that may just be sampling bias.
