Can't install recipes with non-standard :files, when default tar format is posix/pax
Repro guide:
- start Emacs (version 26.1 in my case)
- install quelpa:
M-x package-install RET quelpa RET - install flymd through quelpa:
M-x quelpa RET flymd RET
Observed behavior:
Error message in the echo area: Wrong type argument: package-desc, nil. Package flymd is not installed.
For reference, here's flymd recipe: (from melpa)
(flymd :fetcher github
:repo "mola-T/flymd"
:files (:defaults "flymd.html"))
This error seems to happen with any recipe with non-standard :files entry.
The context is that I'm trying to make a recipe for emacs-libvterm, which is a module to use vterm in Emacs, so I need also its .c, .h and CMakeLists.txt files.
