gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Any insight on this error and how to fix?

No one else has had this problem? Cannot find any reference to this error anywhere. This is on a 16.04 server install with only system utilities and open ssh installed.

Hi there
Hope all is well

May I ask if you found a solution to continue your install
Kind Regards
Brad
