Builds fail on building .deb using packaged fpm on Travis (since 16.2.1)

Issue

When build DEB packages, Travis always fails (since version 16.2.1).
This issue was occurring sporadically, however since 16.2.1 no builds can be completed at all.
I also noticed that electron-builder uses a packaged legacy fpm(1.6.3) instead of using the latest fpm (1.8.1) which is available on Travis. The log hints at regarding icon png files, however, all image assets are correct (previous solutions for a similar issue were applied and worked).

Thanks to @develar for a great project.

Please attach the whole log (tar cannot handle situation when files are accessed in parallel).

@develar
Thanks for the hint. Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/xhinjnTb

I will try building without tar in the meanwhile.

[develar]

Maybe it is fixed in the 16.3.1

[develar]

You do --linux --ia32 --x64 --armv7l and targets for linux is AppImage, deb, right?

[sidneys]

@develar

This is my configuration:

package.json

"linux": {
  "icon": "./icons/linux",
  "publish": null,
  "target": [
    "AppImage",
    "deb",
    "pacman",
    "rpm"
  ]
},

build.js

build --linux --ia32 --x64 --armv7l

Removing pacman(and thus, bsdtar usage) didn't help by the way

[sidneys]

@develar
I'm afraid that 16.3.1 didn't fix this issue. Maybe a race condition?

[sidneys]

@develar
I just tested something - removal of arm from arches results in an instant build success.
The underlying reason still unclear, however.

[develar]

Moved to backlog to keep issue list clear.
