Spotfire Server: Error when deploying cobranding package on Linux OS

Cobranding package cannot be deployed in Spotfire Server on Linux due to missing "cabextract".

Once the cobranding package is uploaded to Spotfire Server node running on Linux and the deployment area is saved, the Admin UI does not show any errors. It says "Successfully saved", but the following errors are logged in server.log:

As documented in the Spotfire Cobranding documentation, for cobranding to work on a Linux system, cabextract must be installed:

"For cobranding to work on a Linux system, cabextract must be installed on the computers running the Spotfire Server and the node managers (if you have node managers running on Linux)."
