Roland Weber commented on ARROW-12502:
--------------------------------------
Hello Neal, thanks for the info. Problems with the Apache mirrors sound like a
reasonable explanation. But I had consistent build failures over several hours,
and again on the following morning. So it was probably more than just a single
bad mirror.
After the binary failure yesterday, I did another build with source download.
The installation succeeded, but unit tests failed, so there is still a problem
in my environment. I'm trying again now. I'll close this issue, because the
source downloads seem to be working again.

> Key: ARROW-12502
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12502
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: R
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Roland Weber
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
