I'm facing similar issue using centos 6.8. Archive is a simple tar archive without any compression.
However issue only appears when using Packer and its ansible post process provisioner. When I disable this post process to get only VM and run ansible playbook myself locally `ansible-playbook -i "localhost," main.yml" no problem with unarchive. Sound strange. I'm using last ansible version from `pip install`. I will try to define difference between how Packer run ansible it may give us some clues -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
