Error installing Wastebin: tar -xf fails due to missing zstd in LXC

[plzfixme]

I'm using the official Wastebin installer script.

Everything works until the step where it extracts the .tar.zst Wastebin release archive from GitHub.

During script execution (on the PVE host), this happens:

✔️ Core dependencies installed
⠦tar (child): zstd: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

[ERROR] in line 20: exit code 0: while executing command tar -xf $temp_file
/dev/fd/63: line 74: SPINNER_PID: unbound variable

I tried:

• adding pct exec $CTID -- apt update && apt install -y zstd before the extract
• inserting sleep before tar -xf
• checking that zstd is present (it is)
• extracting manually inside the container — works fine

But it still fails during the scripted phase.

Has anyone solved this issue with .tar.zst extraction inside a freshly-created LXC?

Thanks!

Thats a bug in installer. zstd is not installed before the extraction. Fix incoming

Will be completed when #5185 merges
