icudtl.dat: file changed as we read it

[ghost]

This happened only after I added linux section in package.json:

    "linux": {
      "target": ["deb", "rpm", "tar.gz"]
    }

I'm using 4.2.0 FYI.

Getting this exact same error

We cannot use FPM in parallel, it is known issue to investigate. But we cannot even run tar if fpm working — for now disable parallel building for FPM.

It's been years since this was patched but I am seeing this issue again: tar: ./opt/Foxglove Studio/resources/app/renderer/main.js: file changed as we read it. I was originally just seeing Process failed: tar failed (exit code 1) , but I found this detailed error by adding "fpm": ["--verbose", "--debug"] to my deb config.

The code that was originally fixed no longer seems to be present in linuxPackager.ts or fpm.ts. Was another fix made? Or any idea why it was removed?
