[Bug 1835589] [NEW] extracted data is corrupted

[Thomas DEBESSE]

Public bug reported:

I faced the bug using `msiextract` tool from `msitools` package that
relies on `libgcab`.

Someone already reported the bug on msitools side, there is reproduceable steps there:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/msitools/issues/6

They said the bug is in libgcab, it was already reported and upstream seams to be fixed now:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1608301

I see the libgcab package is currently the same in disco and eoan:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libgcab&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

It would be good to get the fix imported into Ubuntu before eoan
release, and if possible, backported to disco.
