Re: [newbie] corrupt RPM file ??

[Craig Rowan]

I had the same problem with some of the packages on my CD's, both my supplier and I came to the conclusion that, yes, the packages were corrupt.   I ended up getting some new CD's as it was hard to tell which packages were corrupt (I couldn't be bothered testing several thousand packages), downloading the packages should do the trick though.   Good luck, Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Fleming To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 10:00 PM Subject: [newbie] corrupt RPM file ?? I am trying to install the glibc-devel rpm. However when I try and install it the following results: [root@localhost /root]# rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/glibc-devel-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic [root@localhost /root]# Also inspection of the install.log file shows the above error message present as well. I have checked the RPM file inquestion, and here are the results:   [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -i --test glibc-devel-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm -K glibc-devel-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm glibc-devel-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm: MD5 GPG NOT OK [root@localhost RPMS]# rpm --checksig glibc-devel-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm glibc-devel-2.1.3-16mdk.i586.rpm: MD5 GPG NOT OK [root@localhost RPMS]#       Does this mean that the RPM is corrupt? And I guess if that is the case I will need to get the entire RPM again? Finally is it possible to acquire RPMs that have been compressed? (ie tar.Z) wade
