All these command-line things work correctly for me. No crash and no missing files. Two more data points: When running "fink install sbcl" or dpkg -k, after the failure the file with the long name is actually installed. It is the last one that is installed. The next one would be Methods-common-to-all-streams.html, but it is not there. If one rune install again, then the long file exists twice, once with a .dpkg-tmp extension and once without. This should narrow down the point where the crash happens. There is also a crash report: > Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) > Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 > Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread > > Application Specific Information: > __abort() called > > Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread > 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x90064732 __kill + 10 > 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x90064724 kill$UNIX2003 + 32 > 2 libSystem.B.dylib 0x900f798d raise + 26 > 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x9010d9d9 __abort + 124 > 4 libSystem.B.dylib 0x900f071c > release_file_streams_for_task + 0 > 5 dpkg 0x00008a6a tarobject + 6277 > 6 dpkg 0x00020a71 TarExtractor + 759 > 7 dpkg 0x0000bc4c process_archive + 7772 > 8 dpkg 0x0000997a archivefiles + 1849 > 9 dpkg 0x00003748 main + 323 -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
