That's irritating. I quite like bsdtar, but not quite enough to make it my default tar. I don't use the Steam runtime though.
I don't think the option is essential for the extraction, so I could possibly strip it out when necessary. That might have been impossible due to Steam resetting all files under ~/.local/share/Steam, but I may have a trick up my sleeve.
Yeah, I was thinking the same about it not needing the --checkpoint=1 option and maybe stripping it from the command but I lack the knowledge to dive into where that kind of stuff happens during Steam's execution.
If you do happen to need a tester for the trick, let me know and I'll reset my system tar to libarchive.
When tar is set to libarchive, Steam spit out this error while trying to extract the Steam Runtime:
In the terminal, this error is the root cause:
tar: Option --checkpoint=1 is not supported
When app-alternatives is set to gnu, there is no problem.
