GoDaddy will not update from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2

[bladerunner]

GoDaddy Cpanel says that 1.2.1 is the latest version.  I tried to install the update myself through the cart control panel using the package installer 'abantecart_upgrade_122' and I get the following error :

Error: Can't unpack package "/home/partytime/public_html/register/admin/system/temp/install/abantecart_1.2.2_upgrade_only.tar.gz" after download. Archive error. See error log for details.

Error log displays: 2015-08-28 6:49:42 - App Error: AbanteCart core v.1.2.1 unable to decompress gzipped phar archive "/home/partytime/public_html/register/admin/system/temp/install/abantecart_1.2.2_upgrade_only.tar.gz" to temporary file in /home/partytime/public_html/register/core/lib/package_manager.php on line 140

Please help me get this updated.  I purchased an extension and I need it badly, but it wont work with v.1.2.1

well...you can try to add line
phpinfo();
into your public_html/index.php and open your store via browser to see what server configuration do you have (i mean php version, php-library set  etc).
Just post this info here.

Worked great!  Thanks!

System: Linux p3plcpnl0423.prod.phx3.secureserver.net 2.6.32-531.29.2.lve1.3.11.10.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 12 15:09:02 EDT 2015 x86_64

PHP Version 5.4.43

It spit out much more information; I'm trying to figure out how to place it all here.  What else exactly would help shed light on the problem?

Another option is to upgrade manually...

http://docs.abantecart.com/pages/upgrade/manual.html

I've never had any luck doing the package upgrades and think a manual upgrade is safer/better and gives you a better idea what's going on behind the scenes.

Make sure you have backups for easy and fast recovery.

I have read two separate set of instructions for the manual update:

docs.abantecart.com/pages/upgrade/manual.html
and
abantecart.com/ecommerce-documentation/user-manual/installation/core-upgrade#Install_manually

When I unpack abantecart_1.2.2_upgrade_only.tar.gz, I am left with a package.xml and a upgrade.php.  What do I do with these two files?  They are not mentioned in the instructions for manual update.

you might try something in between the two -  I find it usually works.

Leaving your files in the tar state
Go to Extensions > Install Extensions
Use the Extension Upload tab
Find your tar file on your PC, click Install

The upgrade is packaged to do all the necessary things  - and this will take advantage of that.

Unable to update my cart from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 error showing  Error: Can't find config-file package.xml inside package. Probably package is broken. Structure of package error.

Please provide me that config file package.xml and let me know location directory where to upload or past.

I tried installng by uploading core upgrade package.

Please help.

Hello.
can you look inside your goDaddy CPanel available php-extensions (GD, MBString, ZLib etc.)... Check if PHAR library enabled for your php.
