    Usually this error arises due to a very outdated pear version that can’t even talk to the pear server anymore and downloads a HTML page instead of the real archive.

    To fix this you need to update pear by hand.

    wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar 
    php go-pear.phar
    

    And follow the “system install” instructions.


    Apart from that

    unable to unpack 
    

    could mean that you don’t have the ability to extract gzip archives or that the /tmp/ disk is full or something related. It’s not all that likely but in those cases:

    pear install -Z pear 
    

    will download the .tar and not the .tgz
