Hi All,

I am having trouble installing the PDF Studio RPM.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/slgrnolcsktaezz/PDFStudio_v9_0_2_linux.rpm

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 6.5 (Carbon)

# uname -r
2.6.32-431.20.3.el6.x86_64

# rpm -ivh PDFStudio_v9_0_2_linux.rpm

error: unpacking of archive failed on file .pdfstudio9/:
cpio: Archive file not in header

Any way to fix this?

Many thanks,

I would first check the integrity of the file.
I downloaded it here (not installed it, as I don't have SL6.5).
It unpacked fine though using "rpm2cpio filename.rpm | cpio -idmv"
I have the following checksum on it:

MD5: f39d0ef9c4fd74cbfcbffa37f0ee18f2  PDFStudio_v9_0_2_linux.rpm
SHA1: 2e69d1b564cfebcac5cba9244bd04f64cedc959f
PDFStudio_v9_0_2_linux.rpm

It has an odd directory structure, it seems to put everything in
/pdfstudio9.

Hi Mark,

I get your same md5sum and I am able to to do the rpm2cpio
thing as well.  But, still get the cpio error when trying
to install.  Rats!

Well, if the cpio works, extract it to / and run the postinstall portion from
rpm -qp --scripts filename.rpm

It looks like they are owned by 'root.root' in the rpm.

Have you tried getting it directly from qoppa.com?
