MELANGE_EXTRA_OPTS="--log-level=debug --runner=docker" make test/jq

Melange fails to save OCI image locally with docker runner with the following log:

2025/04/10 14:54:12 DEBU docker daemon response: {"status":"Loading layer","progressDetail":{"current":98304,"total":7644644},"progress":"[\u003e                                                  ]   98.3\n{"errorDetail":{"message":"lsetxattr /usr/bin/jq: xattr \"com.docker.grpcfuse.ownership\": operation not supported"},"error":"lsetxattr /usr/bin/jq: xattr \"com.docker.grpcfuse.ownership\": operation n\n supported"}

The error changes slightly when different VMMs (Docker VMM, Apple Virtualization framework, QEMU (Legacy)) and file sharing implementations (VirtioFS, gRPC FUSE, osxfs) are used.

Example:

2025/04/10 16:16:43 DEBU docker daemon response: {"status":"Loading layer","progressDetail":{"current":98304,"total":7643959},"progress":"[\u003e                                                  ]   98.3\n{"errorDetail":{"message":"lsetxattr /usr: xattr \"com.apple.provenance\": operation not supported"},"error":"lsetxattr /usr: xattr \"com.apple.provenance\": operation not supported"}4b9"}

Here the error is "error":"lsetxattr /usr: xattr \"com.apple.provenance\": operation not supported" instead of "error":"lsetxattr /usr/bin/jq: xattr \"com.docker.grpcfuse.ownership\": operation n\n supported"

It fails to run with all the other combinations that I tried.

QEMU runner works fine for this. This command works MELANGE_EXTRA_OPTS="--log-level=debug --runner=qemu" make test/jq
