Well, this is obvious.... redownload it! Use another mirror, don't use a proxy, if possible. Use ftp.suse.com (but expect low download rates). Greets, Daniel Am Mittwoch, 29. Januar 2003 11:54 schrieb Peter Nunn:

Hi folks,

I just downloaded all the rpm's from Suse 8.1 and tried to install following the directions in the ftp directory.

During the install I got a few could not install messages so did a --force (as I did on another system using 8.0 with one of the beta 3.1's).

It now seems that there is a corrupt rpm on the mirrors.

when I try and do rpm -Fvh qt3-3.1.1-15.i586.rpm I get

qt3 ######unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/qt-3.1.1/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.qt3 1.1: cpio: read

now, when I startx, it failes (funny that I guess) with

Any ideas what I can do to recover this situation?

Thanks.

Okay :))) Hmmmm, perhaps you want to try this one: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/SuSE/ix86/8.1/qt3-3.1.1-15.i586.rpm And a stupid question, just to be sure: Your harddisk has enough free space? I thought of some running out of space while unpacking of the rpm's content... RPM's error messages are not as verbose as one might want to have... Greets, Daniel Am Mittwoch, 29.

Now why didn't I think of that.... OH wait... I did....

I downloaded it from 3 different mirrors today, and guess what... none of them worked.

Next try?
