cabextract works fine manually on those files.

What cabextract command are you running? What's the output/return value? What cabextract version?

This works for me, with master; looks like cabextract to me.

[shmerl]

cabextract 1.9 (default in Debian testing): https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cabextract

Simply running cabextract Apr2006_MDX1_x86_Archive.cab on the extracted file works.

[austin987]

cabextract isn't the problem. It's -F that causes problem.

Update libmspack0, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=915247

Ah, I see. It just got stuck in unstable. I'll update it manually, thanks!

@austin987 Maybe add a warning about this bug upon failure and a command to run to install the updated package?
