`fs.fchown` is not a function

[rnbguy]

Extracting using tar fails with fs.fchown is not a function error.

Reproducible steps:

// tar_compat.ts
import * as tar from "npm:tar@7.4.0";
import { pipeline } from "node:stream/promises";

await fetch(
  "https://github.com/informalsystems/apalache/releases/download/v0.44.11/apalache.tgz",
).then((resp) =>
  pipeline(
    resp.body,
    tar.extract({ cwd: ".", strict: true }),
  )
);

~ # deno run -A tar_compat.ts
error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: fs.fchown is not a function

@rnbguy may I know the platform you're encoutering the issue on? The script works fine with Deno 1.44.4 on macOS

I am on Linux.

[rnbguy]

I just realized, this works fine on my personal Arch Linux computer. But fails on docker images. I tried:

1. alpine, debian, ubuntu tags for denoland/deno image.
2. archlinux image with pacman -S deno (same setup as my personal computer).

[rnbguy]

It looks like it might be something with root user. The following works fine:

$ docker run --user=deno --workdir=/home/deno denoland/deno:alpine eval '
import * as tar from "npm:tar@7.4.0";
import { pipeline } from "node:stream/promises";

await fetch(
  "https://github.com/informalsystems/apalache/releases/download/v0.44.11/apalache.tgz",
).then((resp) =>
  pipeline(
    resp.body,
    tar.extract({ cwd: ".", strict: true }),
  )
);
'

If you remove --user=deno or --workdir=/home/deno, the command fails.
