[Solved] :- Archive mgr reports that tarball is corrupt.

Hi all,
Dunno if its archive manager which is the sore one or the tarball. I have tried downloading multiple times today the 2.8.1 tarball. It gets downloaded and when I try to open the .tar.gz the following is what archive manager pops out :-

Code: Select all

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Now this is something I see pretty rarely. Anyways so ran the md5sum and sha1sum over them. Here is the result.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/src/egoboo-snapshot$ md5sum egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz
e6f3130695d297dcd9fe74e50bd59b68  egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz

/usr/local/src/egoboo-snapshot$ sha1sum egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz 
c0fdfba4bbefe04f5666dab3c1b25db867fb3663  egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz

/usr/local/src/egoboo-snapshot$ ll -h egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 shirish staff 144M Dec 24  2010 egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz

/usr/local/src/egoboo-snapshot$ ll egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 shirish staff 150029960 Dec 24  2010 egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz

Can somebody look things up and tell where am I going wrong. I used the chinese mirror for downloading.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/src/egoboo-snapshot$ wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/egoboo/Linux%20Source%20Distro/2.8.1%20%28Stable%29/egoboo-2.8.1.tar.gz
Looking forward for info. and help.

According to SF:
Size: 150.0MB
MD5: e6f3130695d297dcd9fe74e50bd59b68
SHA1: c0fdfba4bbefe04f5666dab3c1b25db867fb3663


EDIT: Wait, I remember one of the tar/gzips failing to open Windows-created .tar.gz files, it might be possible that you have one of those versions

Thanx, this means then that the archive manager is at fault. Will file a bug.

I compared the two md5sums and the two sha1sum's and they are both identical which means the tarball is good.

Although I hope you do get the tarballed done in some GNU/Linux system in future so this does not happen (again).

There was a 64-bit issue that was causing something similar.

Hi all,
I filed a bug in the Debian database and came to know its most probably a 64-bit architecture bug as told by some posters as well.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633927

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627121

Putting it here just in case somebody runs into the same thing (as 64-bit is becoming more and more a regular thing)

For some reason (maybe because the bug was filed), got a new gzip release.
