I am trying to check out some code via arch, from the g-wrap and
guile-gnome projects. I am pretty sure others are able to use this
archive.
g-wrap developer page gives arch commands:
http://www.nongnu.org/g-wrap/Development.html
I followed them
tla register-archive http://people.debian.org/~rotty/arch/rotty@debian.org--2005
[worked fine]
tla get rotty@debian.org--2005/dists--dev--0 g-wrap
> tla get rotty@debian.org--2005/dists--dev--0 g-wrap

So I ran ktrace, extracted the URL, and fetched in manually (I had
removed http_proxy from the environment before all of this).
wget http://people.debian.org/~rotty/arch/rotty@debian.org--2005/dists/dists--dev/dists--dev--0/base-0/dists--dev--0--base-0.tar.gz
This file seems ok, with both our tar and gtar:

I untarred it (with gtar) and it is clearly arch metadata.
Any clues?
