Mesos 1.7.2 and Marathon 1.4.3 running on top of Ubuntu 16.04.
Description
Starting with Mesos 1.7, the following change has been introduced:
MESOS-8064- Mesos now requires libarchive to programmatically decode .zip, .tar, .gzip, and other common file compression schemes. Version 3.3.2 is bundled in Mesos.
However, this version of libarchive which is used by the fetcher component in Mesos has problems in dealing with archive files (.tar and .zip) which contain UTF-8 characters. We run Marahton on top of Mesos, and one of our Marathon application relies on a .tar file which contains symlinks whose target contains certain UTF-8 characters (Turkish) or the symlink name itself contains UTF-8 characters. Mesos fetcher is unable to extract the archive and fails with the following error:

The same Marathon application works fine with Mesos 1.6 which does not use libarchive.
