When followed instructions on the README.txt:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WITH THE PEAR COMMAND LINE COMMAND
If you have PEAR on your server you may be able to just run:
pear install Archive_Tar-1.3.3
at the command line to install the Archive_Tar library.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I got this:
_____________________________________________________________________________
[root@SERVER_NAME CURRENT_FOLDER]# pear install Archive_Tar-1.3.3
WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "channel-update pear.php.net" to update
Skipping package "pear/Archive_Tar", already installed as version 1.3.1
No valid packages found

[root@SERVER_NAME CURRENT_FOLDER]# channel-update pear.php.net

I think readme.txt should has more explanation on this issue.

Sounds like Archive_Tar is already installed on your system. Does B&M Files work?

I am closing this issue because it is for a Drupal version that is now not supported. Feel free to re-open it, if it is still relevant for a release of the project that is for a supported Drupal version.
