X-Debbugs-CC: michael.albinus <at> gmx.de

Hello,

I have been seeing this "tramp-error: Package `tramp-archive' not
supported" for may be about a month. This error happens whenever I try to
git stage an archive file like foo.tar.xz using Magit.

I cannot debug this error as M-x toggle-debug-on-error does not give any
backtrace, and even (setq debug-on-message "not supported") doesn't do
anything.

This issue looks the exact same like
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30293, but I see that that is
already closed about a month back, whereas I still see this on the master
build as of 03/15 (last week).

I have seen this issue only when staging *new* *.tar.xz files in Magit, but
I cannot invoke backtrace by any means.. Please let me know what I can do
to better understand this problem, and help fix it.

Thanks.

I've just checked. The patch in magit looks good to me.

It is not a tramp-archive error. Any file name with the syntax
".../xxx.tar/..." is regarded as file archive, and handled as
such. ".tar" could be any extension from the list
tramp-archive-suffixes combined with tramp-archive-compression-suffixes.

See also etc/NEWS of Emacs 27.

Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
