Malformed entity: cannot parse PE header signature

[ocroquette]

Hello,

while repackaging some internal stuff for integration in pixi, I got the following error from rattler-build:

│ ╭─ Packaging new files
│ │ Copying done!
│ │
│ ╰─────────────────── (took 5 minutes)
│
╰─────────────────── (took 10 minutes)
Error:   x failed to parse dynamic file: Malformed entity: cannot parse PE header signature (offset 0x10000)
  `-> Malformed entity: cannot parse PE header signature (offset 0x10000)

I don't understand why my binaries files have to be parsed for a simple repackaging. Where does this message come from?
Is there a way to know which file causes it?

Does running the build with -vvv show anything relevant?

No, unfortunately. I can see that the last file copied is a .ini file, then comes " Copying done!" and then the error message, without any further detail.

We try to show warnings when you are linking against libraries outside of the %PREFIX% - for that reason we parse the binaries. But we should not fail on this. Can you reopen this as an issue? If you have an idea how to create a test file, that would also be great!

Sure, done: #1810
