Bug ID: 56860 Summary: Universal Audio Connect: Plugin / App downloads fails due to missing "tar" utility Product: Wine-staging Version: 9.11 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: eoinoneill1991@gmail.com CC: leslie_alistair@hotmail.com, z.figura12@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Trying to debug why UA Connect didn't work on my wine installation, I think I found the source of my problem. Here's a log excerpt of the utility "UA Cloud Helper" which seems to be responsible for downloading and extracting applications.
17.33.39.205039(+2) AuthDownload@ERROR UAContextLowP BundleExtractionFailed('uaudio_polymax'): 'auth.download_extraction_tar_error' uaudio_polymax.lunacomponent/algo.bundle.tgz 17.33.39.205110(+70) AuthDownload@warn Main Auth_DownloadMgr::CancelDownload: id='uaudio_polymax' 17.33.39.219965(+14855) AuthDownload@ERROR Main ExtractAndStage - failed for uaudio_polymax 17.33.53.997567 AuthDownload@warn Main Auth_DownloadMgr::DownloadPlugin: id='uaudio_polymax', ver.='', disk path='' 17.33.55.334587 AuthDownload@ERROR UAContextLowP processTarExtract - 'tar' utility is not found! Process paths: "C:\windows\system32" "C:\windows" "C:\windows\system32\wbem" "C:\windows\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0"
Basically, my understanding of this error is that the application cannot find an adequate "tar" extraction utility when checking the directories listed above.
There might be a way around this if someone clever enough with wine can help direct me, but otherwise this might be a bug and could be related to issues people have had with other VST download utilities.
