Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
• Search the existing issues.

Summary

this appears to be similar to #443
But in the v3.0.0 Release, the artifact DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar.gz does not seem to be gzip or tar format.

replacing the artifact with the earlier release DSC-3.0.0-preview.10-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
works as expected, and actually appears to be the last Release artifact for aarch64-linux to be valid, (v3.0.0-preview.11, v3.0.0-preview.12, and v3.0.0-rc.1 have the same issue)

Steps to reproduce

1. Download DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar.gz:
   curl -sL -o "/tmp/DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar.gz" "https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC/releases/download/v3.0.0/DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar.gz"
2. ensure the filehash: (Get-FileHash /tmp/DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar.gz).Hash

3. ensure the desired target directory exists, e.g. /opt/microsoft/dsc/3
4. Attempt to extract with tar -xzf /tmp/DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar.gz -C /opt/microsoft/dsc/3

# gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

5. Rename to .tar
6. Attempt to extract with tar -xvf /tmp/DSC-3.0.0-aarch64-linux.tar -C /opt/microsoft/dsc/3

# tar: This does not look like a tar archive

Expected behavior

the artifact can be successfully unpacked.

Replacing the artifact with [DSC-3.0.0-preview.10-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
](https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC/releases/download/v3.0.0-preview.10/DSC-3.0.0-preview.10-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz), and using the reproduction steps 1-2, results in unpacked files.

Actual behavior

# gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
# tar: This does not look like a tar archive

This is odd as it only seems that the arm64 linux archive is incorrect. Looking into this.

[SteveL-MSFT]

@vrimkus I made a change to use tar to gzip instead of the gzip command and tested it and seems to be working. The release page has been updated with the new archive and the filehash also updated. Thanks for reporting this and close this issue once you confirm it's good.

I can confirm the new archive is working perfectly. Thank you for the quick turn around!
