What were you trying to do (and why)?

CI-no-bottles PR modifying gnu-tar in Homebrew/homebrew-core#156184 is failing on Linux. @Bo98 advises that the issue may be caused by placeholder HOMEBREW_PREFIX in the RPATH or something similar.

What did you expect to happen?

The CI test suite succeeds as it does on macOS.

@alebcay easiest fix for now would probably be to just not require the gnu-tar formula when bottling gnu-tar.

@alebcay Assuming this is still an issue? Any developments here?

[alebcay]

I haven't taken a closer look at this, I opened this more as a means of documenting the issue while I was doing a no-bottles update on the gnu-tar formula. I can try and have a stab at this, though. As far as I understand, this issue still exists.

not require the gnu-tar formula when bottling gnu-tar.

To clarify, this means just using the system tar instead right? Any concern about bottle reproducibility, or are we just willing to forego the reproducibility in this one case?

Another alternative is to fall back on Gem::Package::TarWriter, provided by rubygems/package.

Yes.

Any concern about bottle reproducibility, or are we just willing to forego the reproducibility in this one case?

Seems worthwhile to forego reproducibility in this case until we have a better solution.
