Dave,
What happens when you run the following command
file /home/odroid/weewx-crt-0.18.tgz
You should get some meaningful outoput eg: -
file weewx-20171111-193906.tar.gz
weewx-20171111-193906.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, last modified: Sat
Nov 11 08:39:06 2017, max compression, from Unix
I suspect it's not actually a *.tgz file. Perhaps it's an html error page
from where you downloaded it?
If it is a text file pretending to be tgz then 'file' will expose it. eg:-
file lshw.tgz # which is actually a html page renamed as .tgz
lshw.tgz: XML 1.0 document, ASCII text, with very long lines
Cheers
