The error comes from the (compression bzip2) module included in
“bootar”.

I can see two solutions:

  1. Remove bzip2 support from bootar (it’s not actually needed, is it?).

  2. Modify (compression bzip2) so that it errors out on first use
     rather than at load time.

Timothy, janneke, WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
