Bug Description
Only libarchive 2.8.5 (3+ years old) exists on Macports. We require a newer version, meaning at the moment we cannot include the archive module in our Zorba MacOS installer since it is based on Macports.
IMHO the correct solution is to request an updated libarchive on Macports. Also, Macports-based installer has other problems, so if we choose a different approach, perhaps the libarchive problems will be solved.
Another option would be to have the archive module graceful degrade if an old version of libarchive is found. IMHO this is not desirable unless we also figure out a way to test both old and new functionality on the RQ, which is challenging and probably not a good return on our investment of time.

I uploaded a new version of archive-module avoiding those functions that are not in the old libarchive, I hope this will compile on Macports.
