Pacman add-repo error, is not a package file
I'm using archlinuxarm, armv7h architecture
I'm trying to use add-repo but it gives me the following error:
$ repo-add test.db.tar.gz dep/python2-numpy-1.9.2-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
==> ERROR: 'dep/blas-3.5.0-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz' is not a package file, skipping
==> No packages modified, nothing to do.
I've tried it with pacman v4.1.2-6 and v.4.2.1. It fails for every downloaded package that I haven't build myself
Just installing the package with pacman -U works absolutely fine
arm pacman

I'm reproducing this with Pacman 5.1.1 (libalpm v11.0.1) on x86_64, so it's not ARM-specific.

This issue happens when repo-add is unable to successfully run
bsdtar -tqf dep/python2-numpy-1.9.2-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz .PKGINFO
bsdtar is from libarchive package. Ensure that it's available in the PATH, and that the command above succeeds when run by hand for the package in question.
