Import error Ubuntu 20.10

[happysat]

Trying to import previously made backup results in:

[ERROR] Couldn't create the file "\?\C:\Ubuntu-20.10\rootfs\usr\lib\systemd\system\system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice".
Reason: The system cannot find the path specified.

Guessing the * is a showstopper in filename x2dcryptsetup*.slice
Removing this file and backup/import again works.

It seems that the name of that file is system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice and the \ character is incorrectly interpreted as a path separator:

$ tar tvzf Downloads/groovy-server-cloudimg-amd64-wsl.rootfs.tar.gz | grep x2d
-rw-r--r-- root/root         434 2020-07-31 03:02 usr/lib/systemd/system/system-systemd\\x2dcryptsetup.slice

Yes indeed, it also happens with 20.04.

Well, I did some debugging and it turns out that it's libarchive's fault. My code passes the correct path to libarchive but it silently converts any backslashes in it to forward slashes: libarchive/libarchive@6c8b326

It seems to be impossible to remove this behavior without patching libarchive's source code.

@happysat Please try this build: https://dl.bintray.com/ddosolitary/dev-releases/LxRunOffline/LxRunOffline-v3.5.0-7-gf1a59d4-msvc.zip
It uses a patched version of libarchive and should have the issue fixed.

Import works now, i tried a fresh build no problems.
Thanks for fixing DDoSolitary!

@DDoSolitary thanks for the great Tool. I ran into the same issue. Will this fix be released soon? The link to the patched build seems to be dead: https://dl.bintray.com/ddosolitary/dev-releases/LxRunOffline/LxRunOffline-v3.5.0-7-gf1a59d4-msvc.zip

@Carsten87 I changed hosting site of my dev builds. Now the files are available here: https://ddosolitary-builds.sourceforge.io/LxRunOffline/
