This thread:

        
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2017-06/threads.html#00012 ?

which I found by searching the lynx-dev archive at

        http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/

for: "Error uncompressing temporary file"...

..includes a suggestion from TG to remedy the problem, which appears to have
worked in that particular case. Here it is:

        I’m assuming you followed recent advice on this list and changed
        “Preferred encoding” in (O)ptions from the default (5) All to
        (1) None already and retried with that. (Though “All” WFM here,
        on BSD and with a slightly older dev version of lynx.)

If you need to dig further, you might be able to find the mentioned
"recent advice on this list".
