Pacman linux target is broken

• Version: 21.2.0

My app is available here: https://github.com/azerothcore/Keira3

• Target: Linux

  "linux": {
    "icon": "dist",
    "category": "Development",
    "target": [
      "AppImage",
      "deb",
      "snap",
      "pacman",
      "rpm"
    ]
  }

As soon as I add "pacman" to the list of linux targets, the build fails:

  • packaging       platform=linux arch=x64 electron=6.0.4 appOutDir=release/linux-unpacked
  • building        target=AppImage arch=x64 file=release/Keira3-3.0.0-alpha.1.AppImage

Without pacman, the other targets work fine.

Error is:

Process failed: bash failed (exit code 127). Full command was:["bash", "-c", "LANG=C bsdtar -czf .MTREE --format=mtree --options=‘!all,use-set,type,uid,gid,mode,time,size,md5,sha256,link’ .INSTALL opt usr .PKGINFO"]

On Ubuntu 20.04, I tried sudo apt install bsdtar and I get this

Package bsdtar is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libarchive-tools:i386 libarchive-tools E: Package ‘bsdtar’ has no installation candidate

Instead you need to install libarchive-tools

sudo apt install libarchive-tools

Then it works to build for archlinux in debian/ubuntu

I did some testing and I could build for pacman on archlinux, but not on ubuntu.
