Gradle 8.0-rc-1: Unable to expand TAR '....tar.gz'

[dubinsky]

I am seeing a failure with Gradle 8.0-rc-1:

$ ./gradlew installSass --stacktrace
...
> Task installSass FAILED
...
> Unable to expand TAR '.../.gradle/sass/archive/dart-sass-1.57.1-linux-x64.tar.gz'
    The tar might be corrupted or it is compressed in an unexpected way.
    By default the tar tree tries to guess the compression based on the file extension.
    If you need to specify the compression explicitly please refer to the DSL reference.

I can confirm this. However, everything is fine with Gradle 8.0 and 8.1.1. I guess this was a bug in Gradle 8.0-rc-1 itself, but I won’t spend time investigate.
