Hi All,

for a while already I have observed that gstreamer-0_10-doc in GNOME:Factory (and now also in GNOME:STABLE:2.32, which is being prepared at this moment) fails to build on openSUSE 11.3 / x86_64.

I do not believe the fault lies in gst itself, as the system actually fails to setup the buildroot properly.

The error in the log is: installing linux-glibc-devel-2.6.32-3.3 installing texlive-bin-jadetex-2009-12.11 installing glibc-locale-2.11.2-2.4 installing texlive-bin-latex-2009-12.11 installing texlive-latex-doc-2009-12.11 error: unpacking of archive failed on file  /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/mathmode/Mathmode.pdf;4ca5a803: cpio: read  failed - Bad file descriptor exit ... SysRq : Power Off Power down.

As you can imagine, the cpio error cancels the entire process. Can somebody please verify if this rpm got somehow corrupted? And possible fix it?

Thanks a lot! Dominique / DimStar

I've had this error too when building for Fedora:13. Apparently, building your own "rpm" package will corrupt the process. Would you happen to have that? Either that or someone submitted a faulty "rpm" package to openSUSE:11.3
