Magento – ERROR: unable to unpack downloader/pearlib/download/ .tgz

We wanted to at a Magento 1.4.1.1 Version install an extension through Magento Connect. Unfortunately, there was during the installation in the message window, that there was an error:

“ERROR: unable to unpack downloader/pearlib/download/[our extension].tgz”

After a little research it was found, that it had to do with the outdated version of Tar.php. This was quickly replaced by the new version and already closed the installation.

Below once tar.php (zip), we've uploaded in the system. We assume, as always no guarantee of changes and content. Here the file. Just download, and then unpack (After a backup has been made of Tar.php!) Copy the folder / downloader / pearlib / php / Archive.

Used in Magento Version 1.4.1.1 Comments? Additions? Notes? Gladly!
