If you can see the tar.gz file, using, say, ls, then perhaps the error
message is badly phrased.  The missing file is not the tar.gz file,
but rather another file, a "system" file, which is needed to perform
the operation.

I suggest: If you can, create a tar.gz file, from any file you have,
then attempt the same operation on the newly created tar.gz file.

oo--JS.
