This isn't totally straightforward as calm uses the python tar module

Maybe this would help until upstream gets their act together…
https://pypi.org/project/xtarfile/
do you need it as python package ?
The tricky part is if it's available on sourceware, I'd guess.
locate says no, for the time being
Thanks, but since this is only done in one spot, I think I can just
arrange to pipe ztd archives through 'unzstd' before validating.
Actually, on second look, we need to look inside the archive in a couple
of places (to check if it's empty, and to generate the package file
listings), so using xtarfile seems like the right approach.
I can arrange to install it on sourceware, but it would be nice if
python-xtarfile was packaged so it can be made a prerequisite of the
calm package.
