Untar errors

[odontocete]

I've tried both the tomcat and jboss bundles, and I get a "lone zero block" error for both while trying to decompress and untar. I've downloaded each of the bundles twice to try to ensure that the files are not corrupt. Posting MD5 hash sums would help.

For alfresco-jboss-0.4.0a, I get:

    tar: A lone zero block at 152427

For alfresco-tomcat-0.4.0a, I get:

    tar: A lone zero block at 67841

My linux distro is an up to date gentoo 2005.1. My version of tar is "tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1".

I should note that I also tried untar with the "-i" option to ignore said error. That results in:

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Unfortunately we haven't seen the problems you mention. Other users on Linux have untar-ed the distributions with no issues. Can you try downloading the bundles from a different SourceForge mirror in case they are corrupt?

Thanks,

Hello,

I tried the following without problem….

tar -xvzf alfresco-jboss-0.4.0a.tar.gz

worked for me on Whitebox Linux.

Tried from multiple sources with the same (unsuccessful) results. Any chance you can post MD5 or SHA1 hashes?

FYI…

The MD5 hash for "alfresco-tomcat-0.4.0a.tar.gz" is:
92c00d22888a0dc76e5fc695b80abb76

and the MD5 hash for the TAR inside it "alfresco-tomcat-0.4.0a.tar" is:
01c15072543a2b67dc4897dc166ec61b

I downloaded the file from a SourceForge mirror myself to check and it unTARed fine.

Cheers,

Kevin

MD5 hash sums match, but still no joy.

Clearly there is nothing wrong with the files then. Can you try a different TAR utility?

Can you run 'tar –version' and let me know which version it resports? Thanks.
