Bug: Failed to install pkg file

[DooblyNoobly]

When installing any packages I get this error on Ubuntu 16:

Failed to install pkg file /root/Downloads/Unity_Packages/2017.4.0f1/UnitySetup-Windows-Support-for-Editor-2017.4.0f1.pkg at /opt/unity-editor-2017.4.0f1: PackageInfo not found under /tmp/d20180506-13396-18krcfm/PackageInfo

I've tried an uninstall and reinstall of my unity version but the problem exists

Issue Checklist

• I'm using the latest u3d version
• I ran u3d --help
• I read the README
• I made sure that a similar issue doesn't exit

u3d used 7z to unpack the pkg file. Maybe something went wrong.

Could you try to run the same command with the --verbose command and then execute the unpacking command (something like 7z -aos -o...) by hand and look at the contents of the unpacked directory? Is there a PackageInfo file in the expected path?

Feel free to copy the log here.

@DooblyNoobly I tested installing on a Ubuntu 16.04 server as both root and non root. It worked. I need your stacktrace / log!

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS"

The extracted directory only contains a Payload~ file.
The fix is to add the option -t* to the 7z command line.

In /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/u3d-1.0.21/lib/u3d/installer.rb:

command = "7z -aos -t* -o#{tmp_dir.shellescape} e #{file.shellescape}"

Edit: Working too late here. The above fix from @jsmouret-vl worked for me.

Oops sorry for not seeing this earlier. We merge this ASAP
