Hi Andy,

I suspect you already have made progress on the lmod front,
can you eventually report/share under this one your findings?

On Debian, what I do is to make sure we actually have the needed dependencies 
via the OS and then skip such checks alltogether with "--strict=ignore".

N.B. The are two open issues for future work: (should not prevent you, anyhow)

> tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

That is a classic one, and it basically corresponds to interrupted downloads
(you hit ctrl-c or something of a similar style happened). As Ken advices:
* remove broken tarball, rinse, repeat.

Many of such errors should go away once we start using shared verifiable mirrors
for distributing the (redistributable open source) software, as per:

cheers,
Fotis
