Cobranding package cannot be deployed on TSS on Linux due to missing "cabextract".
Once the cobranding package is uploaded to a TSS running on Linux and the deployment area is saved, the Admin UI does not show any errors. It says "Successfully saved" but in server.log you see below errors:

As is documented in the Prerequisites section of "Creating and Deploying a Cobranding Package" documentation:

• For cobranding to work on a Linux system, cabextract must be installed.
