Listmates,

New 11.0 Install and I am getting cpio bad magic errors on package installs. Example:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

--- error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

2009-07-12 22:25:40 mrtg-2.16.1-13.1_13.2.i586.delta.rpm install failed rpm output: error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

2009-07-12 22:25:41 mrtg-2.16.1-13.1_13.2.i586.delta.rpm install failed rpm output: error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

What packages didn't get installed right??

FYI, I have rpm-4.4.2-199.1 installed

Here is some more information. Hopefully this will help narrow down what is going on. At this rate, I don't think I'll ever get apache2 installed. It almost looks like there was just a bad string of packages. Hopefully this isn't the static linked verses as needed link issue biting us. Take a look at the list and see if anything makes sense?

After removing rpm and reinstalling rpm, things seem better. I'll keep an eye on it.

I seem to remember that the compression method changed recently and the newer rpm package would not work w/o updating some libraries and/or compression packages.
