Now,I was looking at one mail in the mailing list :

+gunzip -c /tmp/data.tar.gz | tar -x -C /
 rm -f /tmp/data.tar.gz
 rm -f /tmp/cdebootstrap.deb

The installation now gets further but fails later on because it tries
to use -z again - the solution was to replace /bin/tar with the version
from http://packages.debian.org/sid/armel/tar/download .

As I understand from it,if I do gzip  then again internally if it tries to
use tar  -z then again the installation may fail.So what do you
suggest?Shall I go ahead gzip-ing?
