The current version of OI uses Archive::Tar and Compress::Zlib for
archiving and compression. If you do the following as root:

  # perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> install Bundle::CPAN

Then these will be installed for you. You might need to install the
packages for the zlib library -- I'm not sure if these are included by
default in most distribution installs.
