I'm getting the following error when calling aurel-info-download-package:

aurel-download-unpack: The first entry 'pax_global_header' in tar file is not a directory

Ah, thanks for reporting! Some tar-files have a special pax_global_header entry which is not a real file (you can see it if you open the tarball in emacs). I've added support for this case, so it should be fixed now. Please report if it is not.
