Roland Weber commented on ARROW-12502:
--------------------------------------

Sorry, I cannot figure out how to properly format the error message from my build log in a monospaced block. The last line shown in \{{ }} is supposed to be indented by two space characters.

> I'm installing Arrow 3.0.0 from CRAN on RedHat UBI. On 2021-04-21, my post-installation unit tests for Arrow started to fail. I found this error message in the build logs:
> {{*** Successfully retrieved C++ source}}
> {{/bin/gtar: This does not look like a tar archive}}
> {{/bin/gtar: Skipping to next header}}
> {{/bin/gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors}}
> {{*** Proceeding without C++ dependencies}}
> {{Warning message:}}
> {{In untar(tf1, exdir = src_dir) :}}
> {{ ‘/bin/gtar -xf '/tmp/RtmpNhfLVX/file23a66db9da04' -C '/tmp/RtmpNhfLVX/file23a640ab53bd'’ returned error code 2}} 
> Other installation steps and downloads are working, so I don't think this is a network connectivity issue. My guess is that the mirror selection logic changed on the server side, so that the source download now saves an HTML error page instead of the source archive.

> I'm fixing my build break by switching to binary downloads. But I thought you might want to have a look at that source download logic.
