Get error "unable to extract postgres archive: xz: data is truncated or corrupt" in GitLab pipeline.

When starting the postgres daemon, I get the following error:

unable to extract postgres archive: xz: data is truncated or corrupt

This never happens locally, but only in a GitLab pipeline. Furthermore, it only seems to happen on parallel runs of the postgres daemon -- I start one postgres daemon on a different port for each test function.

We start the postgres daemon in the following way

runtimePath := filepath.Join(projectDir, ".dbtest", t.Name())
pg := embeddedpostgres.NewDatabase(embeddedpostgres.DefaultConfig().
    Username(user).
    Password(pw).
    Database(dbname).
    Version(embeddedpostgres.V14).
    RuntimePath(runtimePath).
    DataPath(fmt.Sprintf("%s/data", runtimePath)).
    Logger(os.Stdout).
    Port(port).
    StartTimeout(45 * time.Second))

if err := pg.Start(); err != nil {
    t.Fatalf("Failed to start embedded postgres daemon: %s\n", err)
}

I have also experimented with the BinariesPath option, but without any luck.

Any ideas of what the real issue is and how one might go about resolving it?

Just realized this might be a duplicate of https://github.com/fergusstrange/embedded-postgres/issues/96. Sorry for that.

Yes this does look to be the same. I'll try to tackle this soon.
