gcab spins off libgcab which is used by the msiextract tool

This looks like the patch upstream that (hopefully) will fix the problem.....

This bug was fixed in the package gcab - 1.1-4

---------------
gcab (1.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Apply upstream patch to fix rewind regression. LP: #1801643, #1801644.
  * Switch to a secure upstream URL in debian/watch.
  * ddeb migration complete, drop the dh_strip override.
  * Add “Build-Depends-Package” entry to libdcab-1.0-0.symbols.
  * Set “Rules-Requires-Root: no”.
  * Standards-Version 4.2.1, no further change required.

Could it be backported to bionic? Unfortunately msiextract currently doesn't work under bionic. Thanks.
