It is not the first time, an update of libarchive breaks many things in
particular pkg, we have asked many time if a request for exp-run could be made
before any sync with upstream, but years are passing and libarchive continues to
be updated without prior exp-run.

This is painful.

Making pkg accept ARCHIVE_WARN is not acceptable, in some places we are
extracting inside a capsicum sandbox which will prevent any shelling out.
