Try again. I've done a bunch of TW updates in recent days, and had no apparent problems with any particular rpms that weren't solved by telling zypper to retry. If you think zypper is the problem, download latest zypper and libzypp rpms manually from a mirror and upgrade using rpm.

right, it's not a zypper problem:

cpio errors almost always point to bad files. At which stage they get crippled is anyone's guess - it happening at the builder is possible, but rather unlikely. Internet transport is not as flakey as it was in the 90s, but can happen. Lastly, faulty RAM or disk in any machine involved in the transmission process. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The same file works fine here, so this is more likely a hardware problem on your side.

hmm, it's a VM in VirtualBox on a Win7 host. I don't see any other problems there, and I'm working daily with it like that since at least half a year. Well, I upgraded to VBox-5.0.12 on Jan 4th ...

What happens if you run zypper clean && zypper ref && zypper up ? -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht Official openSUSE Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Exactly the same. And as written before, the error also happened with raw "rpm -Uhv ./boost...rpm". I've created a snapshot, and reverted to that from Jan 7th - i.e., to when I already had VBox-5.0.12; with this 'zypper up' succeeded. This means that VBox is out, too. I'll keep the other snapshot for a while - just for the case someone is interested and has further hints how to find the reason.
