Repro Steps

I'm trying to export Arch and Ubuntu 22.04, both give similar errors (I have six distros altogether, and only these two have these messages): Export in progress, this may take a few minutes.: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.dirmngr: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.browser: pax format cannot archive sockets...

I think this has something to do with keys. ubuntu 22.04 mentions similar but with devkitpro key files. I've never had this happen in all my years of exporting wsl, and I have no idea how to correct it or if I should even ignore it.

Expected Behavior

it should have success with no messages like the one above.

Actual Behavior

./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.dirmngr: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh: pax format cannot archive sockets: ./etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.browser: pax format cannot archive sockets...

I'm not sure if I did this correctly. I couldn't allow the export to go through. it created the zip once I copied and pasted the initial command.
