When installing the DBIQueryPlugin I get the following error:

Fetching http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/DBIQueryPlugin/DBIQueryPlugin.tgz... Warning: I can't download http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/DBIQueryPlugin/DBIQueryPlugin.tgz because of the following error:

Not Found

Warning: Extension may not have been packaged correctly. Trying for a .zip file instead.

Fetching http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/DBIQueryPlugin/DBIQueryPlugin.zip... Unpacking... Software error:

Discussion and Answer

The installer first tries to get the .tgz version of the plugin attached to Plugins.DBIQueryPlugin. If it does not exist (and it does not for this plugin) it tries to get the .zip version. I am not sure why the installer fails in your case. You always can download, unzip and install a plugin manually.
