Failed to extract .tar.xz file on macOS, Archive Utility succesfully extracts it

Here's the file, I zipped it to upload it on Github.
pkg.tar.xz.zip

I have the same problem :(

This was happening to me because i was not closing the file.
I am downloading a file, saving it to a temporary file, then extracting it. Sound like i was not closing the file after the save, so this error was occurring.

check if its the same problem you guys have....

my 2 cents

@rserrano-eSW How did you close the file? Can you be more specific here?

I had the same issue using https.get and piping that to a write stream. After switching to the request library instead extract-zip happily extracted things without a problem.
