Did you manage to actually extract the Sage source tarball?  If this
works, but not for some spkg, maybe the problem is with gzip or
something.  Or perhaps some spkg got in with an incompatible format (BSD
has a slightly different tar format).  Currently, my merger script
extracts and repacks every spkg to ensure a more predictable format.
Which file precisely fails to untar?
