This happens on my self-compiled Sage 5.5 installation on Debian wheezy 64 
bits :

| Sage Version 5.5, Release Date: 2012-12-22                         |

I tried to follow the README's recommendation :
---------------------------------- Begin 
quote ----------------------------------
9. OPTIONAL: It is highly recommended that you install the optional GAP
   database by typing:

       ./sage --optional
----------------------------------- End 
quote -----------------------------------

sage@fauchard:~$ sage -i database_gap-4.5.7
Attempting to download package database_gap-4.5.7

database_gap-4.5.7
====================================================
Extracting package /home/sage/sage-5.5/spkg/optional/database_gap-4.5.7.spkg
-rw-r--r-- 1 sage sage 59654144 déc.  30 21:38 
/home/sage/sage-5.5/spkg/optional/database_gap-4.5.7.spkg
tar: On saute à l'en-tête suivant
tar: Arrêt avec code d'échec à cause des erreurs précédentes
Error: failed to extract 
/home/sage/sage-5.5/spkg/optional/database_gap-4.5.7.spkg

A second attempt gives exactly the same result (modulo downloading).

I see no intelligent action to take now. If some wiser soul can suggest a 
stupid one ...

HTH,

Emmanuel Charpentier
