Answer 1

Try re downloading the package and installing first, it is possible that the package itself was corrupted. It looks like it was attempting to pull files out of the internal rpm package and failed.

Answer 2

Try to download new package againg or run gppkg in -verbose mode to get more details on error.

Answer 3

You're trying to use unarchiver utility which is not installed and gppkg is trying to use.
