Magento – ERROR: unable to unpack Connect download plugin issue

By January 25, 2016No Comments

When trying to update a Sage Pay plugin on a Magento 1.4.1.0 site, I encountered the following Magento Connect Manager error.

ERROR: unable to unpack /public_html/downloader/pearlib/download/Ebizmarts_SagePaySuite-3.0.9.tgz

A fellow blogger found that this can be resolved by using an updated version of the tar.php file.

/downloader/pearlib/php/Archive/Tar.php

Make a copy of your current tar.php file and upload this newer version in its place. New Magento Tar file.

The new file resolved the issue and allowed me to successfully install the update.
