Yes, I figured it must be there since 7zip extracts it (which is what
we use in Windows) but tar+gunzip unpack it normally on Linux. Really
odd.

There seems to be a glitch on our end when handling the .tgz extension
which we haven't faced with .tar.gz files; I wouldn't go as far as
asking you to rename the file since it's a bug on our side (and I
don't know if that alone would fix it), but I'll run some tests and
let you know if there's something we can do for users of older
versions of LuaRocks.
