utarfile: invalid syntax for integer with base 8

[AuHau]

I am using OTA library that I have tweaked to get my firmware from Github Release Assets, which are packed into Tar file (tar -czf source.tar.gz *) using Github Workflow.

The new firmware is downloaded to the flash correctly but when it is about to be extracted, it fails with error: invalid syntax for integer with base 8 coming from extracting the file's size in utarfile.

I have printed the byte arrays of the h.size and got: bytearray(b'00000002264 \x00').
Then I tried to repack the tar on my Mac and reuploaded that to the device and suddenly all works, but noticed that the printed byte array of size is: bytearray(b'00000002264 '). Eq. \x00 is missing.

In the Github Actions it is packed on Ubuntu machine. Maybe there should be some sanitation of the bytearray?

Thanks for the report. Indeed utarfile reading is broken! It was broken by 7128d42

Should be fixed by 0a5b635
