I’m building Blender from the blender-v2.91-release branch, SHA ec6a9322e87. Building headless works OK using “build headless”. But when I try to build the package archive with “build headless package_archive” I get many permission errors and it doesn’t build the tar. (Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL1.)
% make headless package_archive
...snipped...
make -C "/c/dss/Product/Horizon/ext-sources/blender/blender-official/build_linux_headless" -s package_archive

Removing the ../build_linux_headless/Blender-2.91-* dir doesn’t help.
Diffing bin/2.91 vs Blender-2.91-ec6a9322e872-linux-x86_64/2.91 shows no diffs, i.e. all is well.
If I comment out the exit 1 line in build_archive.py:45 then the archive is created and works fine.
I don’t think this is a new problem; it’s been happening for a while. Maybe the “permission denied” errors are from setting dest file metadata, since the generated archive actually works OK? I assume if it doesn’t happen for others it’s something specific about my system or my config; any help would be appreciated!
