Hi Kornel,
Like I said in the previous thread, we simply cannot switch to gnutar, it will
potentially break many other systems.

Moreover when you compiled the very same CMake using the shipped-in cmlibarchive
you didn't get the error.
So the issue is an interaction between system provided libarchive and CMake,
did try to contact Ubuntu packager about that?
