The accepted answer suggest to first run

 $ pear upgrade -Z pear/Archive_Tar

This however also gave me the error: Download of "pear/Archive_Tar" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive. This did however download the Archive_Tar-1.4.2.tar file into my php\PEAR\download directory.

Next, I replaced the php\PEAR\Archive\Tar.php file with the one in php\PEAR\download\Archive_Tar-1.4.2.tar\Archive_Tar-1.4.2\Archive\Tar.php (You can rename the one in php\PEAR\Archive\ first, just to be safe).

This fixed the "not a valid package archive"-errors for me.

As suggested in the accepted answer, it would now be a good time to update your pear installation.

It seems that the Archive_Tar PEAR component needs to be replaced/upgraded.

Do this first:

$ sudo pear upgrade -Z pear/Archive_Tar

It would also be a good time to update your pear installation:

$ sudo pear upgrade pear

And then try the other steps again:

$ sudo pear install mail Net_SMTP Auth_SASL mail_mime
