Content 
An entry in a TAR archive has a name. The name field has a size of 100 bytes. The field is padded with zero bytes. I don't know if it must or must not end with a zero byte.

'/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/TÜBİTAK_UEKAE_Kök_Sertifika_Hizmet_Sağlayıcısı_-_Sürüm_3.crt' string encoded to UTF-8 takes 104 bytes.

Python should emit a warning or even fail with an error if a name is longer than 100 *bytes* (not 100 *characters*).
