Answer 1

You can resolve with:

# The lzip page is: http://lzip.nongnu.org/lzip.html
# Download the lzip:
wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lzip-1.15.tar.gz
# decompress:
tar xvf lzip-1.15.tar.gz
cd lzip-1.15
# configure / build
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
# install
sudo make install

# now you can unzip with 
tar xvf gmp-5.1.3.tar.lz
