Description:

Running `pacman-optimize` on a filesystem that has no support for extended attributes will cause the process to fail:

[root@machine /]# pacman-optimize
==> MD5sum'ing the old database...
==> Tar'ing up /var/lib/pacman/local...
==> Making and MD5sum'ing the new database...
./: Cannot restore extended attributes on this file system
./keyutils-1.5.9-1/: (null)
./pambase-20130928-1/: (null)
./acl-2.2.52-2/: (null)

... etceteras.

(This became an issue for me, personally because Docker's AUFS doesn't support xattrs: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/1070)
This task depends upon

Do the files actually get extracted?
