Could not get contents of package "/tmp/tmpspT8Og/APC-3.1.6.tgz". Invalid tgz file.
Download of "pecl/apc" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "pecl/APC"

What does this error mean? How do I fix it, thank you.

it looks like it doesn't download the archive correctly. try again later. – Paul Jan 9 '11 at 7:02
Is /tmp (or /) full? Always the first thing to check! – mattdm Jan 9 '11 at 19:48

would not be surprised to find that 3k file is an html page. perhaps a 404 or a 503? Also, did you install the pre-requisites? The default CentOS 5.5 requires up-to-date php-pear, php-devel, and httpd-devel before pecl can run and compile apc.
