I've seen other posts but everybody's fix seems to not work for me. Here is my error:
:: Starting full aur upgrade...
Aur Targets (3): setuptools python2-iso8601 gnome-shell-google-calendar-git
Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
/usr/bin/packer: line 271: cd: setuptools: No such file or directory
No PKGBUILD found in directory.
No matter what, I can't seem to get past this.

It looks like packer is trying to download the PKGBUILD for setuptools from the AUR, but it doesn't exist. However, setuptools is provided by python2-distribute in extra (or python2-setuptools in the AUR). I think you should remove the current setuptools that you have, install python2-distribute (or python2-setuptools), then try to update again. I think that should work.
EDIT: typo

You should also update Packer. There is a bug behind your issue that was fixed in September.

Thanks so much! I had no "setuptools" installed. I couldn't remove any package by that name as it did not exist. I just installed the python2-setuptools then did packer -Syyu again and "setuptools" did not show up.
