As in:
- downloading the qgis-plugins.xml and save it as a file in a local
webfolder
- then add the url to the xml as a repo url in qgis
- find the repo in the 'new plugins' list
- installed your plugin

This error comes from the plugin installer stuff:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/pyplugin_installer/qgsplugininstallerinstallingdialog.py#L126

it looks like it is downloaded succesfully but failes to unzip?

From:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/pyplugin_installer/qgsplugininstallerinstallingdialog.py#L54-L57

it looks like it should be in your /tmp directory

maybe you can add some debug lines yourself in
qgsplugininstallerinstallingdialog.py ?
