-- The Ubuntu `libarchive` package maintainer only provides a "libarchive.so" symlink in the dev package so you'll have to install the `libarchive-dev` package.
-
-  For example::
-
-    apt-get install libarchive-dev
-
 - Encryption is not currently supported since it's not supported in the underlying library (*libarchive*). Note `this inquiry <https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/579>`_ and the `wishlist item <https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki/WishList#encrypted-backup-support>`_.
 
 - OS X has a system version of `libarchive` that is very old. As a result, many users have encountered issues importing an alternate one. Specifically, often they install a different one via Brew but this will not be [sym]linked into the system like other packages. This is a precaution taken by Brew to prevent undefined behavior in the parts of OS X that depend on the factory version. In order to work around this, you should set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or prepend if `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` is already defined) with the path of the location of the library version you want to use. You'll want to set this from your user-profile script (unless your environment can not support this and you need to prepend something like "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/some/path" to the front of the command-line or set it via `os.environ` above where you import this package). A `tool <tools/brew_find_libarchive>`_ has been provided that will print the path of the first version of `libarchive` installed via Brew. Just copy-and-paste it. Thanks to @SkyLeach for discussing the issue and treatments.
