Bug#1032662: elpa-debian-el: deb-view fails on zstd compressed debs
Package: elpa-debian-el
Version: 37.10
Severity: normal
Visiting zstd compressed .deb files in deb-view mode-fails with a tar
error, here is a backtrace after toggling debug-on-error.
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Malformed Tar header")
| signal(error ("Malformed Tar header"))
| tar-mode()
| debview-mode()
| deb-view-process("/tmp/libtinfo6_6.3+20220423-2_amd64.deb")
| deb-view-mode()
| set-auto-mode-0(deb-view-mode nil)
`----
Here /tmp/libtinfo6_6.3+20220423-2_amd64.deb is the package from Ubuntu
22.10, see https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/amd64/libtinfo6/download.
While the control.tar.zst apparently can be inspected, there is no way
to get to the files in data.tar.zst. I had to kill the buffer
libtinfo6_6.3+20220423-2_amd64.deb-DATA, confirming that I wanted to get
rid of that buffer despite it being modified.
