Bug#867816: Apt arm64 problem with chroot to arm64

[fin4478 fin4478 <fin4478@hotmail.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.5~beta

Apt-get fails with this version, but not with 1.4.6.
I do Debian testing Xfce SD card images for the Amlogic S912 TV box.
There is /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static in the destination file system.
Armbian distribution build script uses
the following command in lib/deboostrap-ng.sh:

eval 'LC_ALL=C LANG=C chroot $CACHEDIR/$SDCARD /bin/bash -c
"DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -q -m \ $apt_extra
$apt_extra_progress --no-install-recommends install $PACKAGE_LIST"'

After installing successfully several packages, in the logs there is:

Selecting previously unselected package gnome-icon-theme.
Preparing to unpack .../070-gnome-icon-theme_3.12.0-2_all.deb ...
Unpacking gnome-icon-theme (3.12.0-2) ...
dpkg: error processing
archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-sQZDkO/070-gnome-icon-theme_3.12.0-2_all.deb
(--unpack): corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive

And apt-get fails to install any additional packages.

I debootstrapped Debian base system using 
stretch where is apt 1.4.6. Then chroot works ok with testing packages.
