Best Regards, Olivier Kaloudoff (France, French Riviera) Here are the checks I made to verify that my system or the downloaded .iso file for pld are not broken; # ls -l libao-0.8.2-3.i686.rpm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 19673 jan 13 15:05 libao-0.8.2-3.i686.rpm # uname -a Linux www.kalou.net 2.4.17-16mdk #1 Fri Feb 8 16:00:03 CET 2002 i686 unknown # for i in $(\ls *rpm); > do > rpm --checksig $i > /dev/null || echo $i has bad signature > done (no package failed, so everything is ok) From michal at michal.waw.pl Sun Mar 3 19:23:17 2002 From: michal at michal.waw.pl (Michal Kochanowicz) Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 19:23:17 +0100 Subject: (libao) error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20020303182317.GB3027@wieszak.mmm.ozarow-12.waw.pl> On Sun, Mar 03, 2002 at 03:20:24PM +0100, Olivier Kaloudoff wrote: > I want to test pld, because I saw it > on rpmfind, and it seems a really up to date > distribution with good dependencies policy, so > here is my first try: > > # rpm -i libao-0.8.2-3.i686.rpm > error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic Please check if file has been downloaded correctly: rpm -K libao-0.8.2-3.i686.rpm If it's checksum is OK this may mean that you need newer version of RPM, preferably taken from PLD.
