Uncompressed /home/osmc/.cpan/sources/authors/id/B/BI/BINGOS/Archive-Extract-0.76.tar.gz successfully
Using Tar:/bin/tar xf "Archive-Extract-0.76.tar": Couldn't untar Archive-Extract-0.76.tar

What happens when you try to tar xf Archive-Extract-0.76.tar manually? You do have tar installed in that location, don't you? (it's rather hard to have Debian installed without a tar, but it is possible)

I unzipped the `.gz`, then copy-pasted the command to untar the `.tar`, which worked perfectly. As stated in the question, I suspect that CPAN is not the way to go, although the output might be useful from a troubleshooting perspective.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
