but apparently not if you already have a tarball in /var/spool/lunar. 
Even if that one is not a tarball. (hint hint)

try removing the kernel-headers tarball in /var/spool/lunar and rerun

[note: the broken tarball is probably due to the fact that our webserver 
was misconfigured and serving broken downloads as a 404.html page 
instead, roughly about 10k in size]
