Logfile for package installations

Is there any way to get BlackHole to create a logfile when installing packages?

I'd like to figure out why a package doesn't install when it appears to install correctly...

You should try to install that package via telnet session on your box

How do I do this?

I assume that I copy the *.tgz file to /tmp and run gzip, but where should the archive be extracted to, and are there any specific options I need to use?

The installation is package-ependant.
You can use the following command to uncompress the pacakge and see what it contains:
Code: 
cd /tmp
tar xvzf file.tgz

Next, install by hand the files.
