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

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

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.

Esme, if this is shipped with Powershell, is this a Mono component?

Yes, I consider powershell in scope for Wine Mono, even though we're not
shipping it yet.
