It sounds like you switched from dev -> release. I'm not sure that we support that particular change. It's possible that if one of the packages from dev doesn't have a corresponding file in release. If that were the case, you would attempt to retrieve the file from release, but it wouldn't be there. The tar stream error occurs when a tar stream is empty or corrupted. If you requested a file that didn't exist, it's possible that you might get this error. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
