The problem seems to be that some VCS conflict files were left behind in the `readable-stream` module which contain colons in the file name, and `tar` if trying to interpret these as a remote file.\n\nTechnically, I'm still able to unpack the remaining files, but the `tar` command exits with a non-zero exit code as a result, so automated installations (such as [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm)) fail. \n\nHere are commands that reproduce this:\n\n``` console\n$ wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.6.0/node-v5.6.0-linux-x64.tar.xz\n4 unxz

of filenames that contain colons, that are causing tar to have problems:\n\n``` console\n$ tar tf ./node-v5.6.0-linux-x64.tar | grep
