Recent tarballs fail to extract on OTP 19 or older

Closed this issue · 1 comments

E.g., country database version 2019-05-20 ​20:12.

Something is likely to have changed on MaxMind's exporting pipeline and the new tarballs are no longer compatible with old Erlang/OTP versions. Erlang/OTP versions 20 and 21 have no problem.

erl_tar got a big rewrite on OTP 20, which presumably fixed whatever was the issue.

Solved upstream.
