P65_package_extractor apk_extractor not working

[jblu42]

Describe the bug
Doing a test run on an android image, get errors for extracting the APKs with P65_package_extractor and the apk_extractor submodule.

The APKs are actually extracted by some of the other modules (have to check which), but the command line in the module:

tar xpf "$APK" --directory "$R_PATH" || true

does not work for any APKs for me.
APK can be extracted with unzip, unblob or binwalk, never seen it with tar.

Expected behavior
apk_extractor submodule working

Priority issue
N - low priority

apk files are handled in multiple areas within EMBA. Binwalk should extract them, unblob also. The main idea from P65 is to extract it in the identified root directory. With this mechanism all files are in the correct place which is important for the emulation modules.

The failed extraction is a bug which should be fixed. Thanks for reporting.
