The problem here is that Fink's tar knows how to unpack xz archives automatically under the "tar -xf " command, but the system's /usr/bin/gnutar, which is the fallback, does not. I did a quick test and /usr/bin/tar _does_ know how to do this on 10.8. As a workaround, edit /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/PkgVersion.pm as a superuser and change the two instances of "gnutar" to "tar". Sorry for the hassles.
