Hi,

With new updates to upstream libarchive 3.8.10, few tests on are failing on python-libarchive-c

and blocks libarchive migration to testing.

Two entry tests broke with libarchive 3.8.10:

- testtar.tar is now rejected with "Unsupported pax global extended
  header attribute 'gname'" rather than "Damaged tar archive" [1], so
  accept either message.

- The ZIP reader now honours the NTFS (0x000A) extra field [2],
  reporting unicode2.zip's mtime in UTC with sub-second precision instead
  of the local-time MS-DOS field stored in the fixture, so ignore mtime
  in that comparison.


The bug was confirmed and a fix provided by upstream here:

https://github.com/Changaco/python-libarchive-c/pull/145


Thanks,
Syed Shahrukh Hussain.
