I've tried the following things:

sudo pear install -f HTML_BBCodeParser2-0.1.0

Result:

downloading HTML_BBCodeParser2-0.1.0.tgz ... Starting to download HTML_BBCodeParser2-0.1.0.tgz (14,621 bytes) .....done: 14,621 bytes could not extract the package.xml file from "/build/php5-8gpaOy/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/HTML_BBCodeParser2-0.1.0.tgz" Download of "pear/HTML_BBCodeParser2" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive Error: cannot download "pear/HTML_BBCodeParser2" Download failed install failed

Then:

I'm running out of tricks and reasoning... Please help. Can't figure out the problem and so can't solve it. Help! I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This question is on the 'ask-ubuntu' forum too but no responses... Someone with rep more than 300 please edit the question and add a 'pear' tag. Thank you!

Unfortunately, whenever ubuntu/debian push out an update that touches on PEAR, they revert the installed version of Archive_Tar to a broken one. I've reported this several times.

You need to upgrade Archive_Tar to a version that works. Do this with:

$ sudo pear upgrade -Z pear/Archive_Tar

After that you should be able to install HTML_BBCodeParser2 just fine.

(I would also recommend that you upgrade to PEAR 1.10.0)
