Using Wsl.ps1 command New-Distro with -Image archlinux-bootstrap, to create an Arch Linux distro, fails when 7-Zip version 20 or newer is used.
The problem occurs during "Patching of archive" operation, and it outputs:
System ERROR:
Not implemented
Downloading the archlinux-bootstrap .tar.gz image manually, extracting the .tar from it, and then running 7-Zip's test command ("t : Test integrity of archive") reports the following with 7-Zip v20+ (last tested on v23.01) but not on v19 so I assume it is related:
Workaround is to install 7-Zip 19.00, and if necessary point to it with argument -SevenZip when running New-Distro.
