So, the system-compression package has been upgraded beyond what you
have installed, nevertheless ntfs-3g 1:2016.2.22AR.2-2 is able to run
the plugins, though probably not the latest version.

Then, you have to download systcomp.zip from http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/advanced-ntfs-3g.html#download and extract the (binary) plugin which matches the cpu you are using. For instance, for an x86_64 cpu :
unzip -x systcomp.zip systcomp/linux-64/ntfs-plugin-80000017.so

Now, (as root), you have to relocate the file ntfs-plugin-80000017.so to the proper ntfs plugin directory. A simple way to find this directory, is to run the command :
strings $(which ntfs-3g) | grep ntfs-plugin
This will return something like "/usr/lib64/ntfs-3g/ntfs-plugin-%08lx.so" which is the pattern to locate the plugin (in this case, the plugin must be renamed as "/usr/lib64/ntfs-3g/ntfs-plugin-80000017.so"). Your actual plugin directory may be different, and you may have to create the directory.

Note : the file systcomp.zip contains the source file, which you may
want to compile yourself.

Title:
  ntfs: unsupported reparse point

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I recently updated my Windows-10 to the 1709 edition. Scanning the
  file system with Ubuntu, I get "unsupported reparse point" errors.
  Searching the web indicates that ntfs cannot handle certain files.

  I am running Ubutu-Mate 17.10:

  uname -r: 4.13.0-16-generic

  lsb_release -rcid:
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 17.10
  Release:	17.10
  Codename:	artful

  I include a file which runs ntfsinfo on a file where I get the "unsupported reparse point" message:
  sudo ntfsinfo -F /Windows/hh.exe /dev/sda1 >unsupported_reparse_point.txt

  while mounted: I issue ls -l <mount_point>/Windows/hh.exe 
  ls -l Windows/hh.exe 
  lrwxrwxrwx 2 .. .. 25 Sep 29 14:41 Windows/hh.exe -> unsupported reparse point

  I expect to see either a resolved link or a length for the file in
  question.
