[Fink-users] fink fails to unpack file
I have recently installed Fink and Fink Commander under MacOSX 10.3.2 (Xcode 1.1; Apple X11) and used it to install GIMP (awesome) and gperiodic. However, now whenever I try to install ANY fink package - and I have tried several - I get an error message of this type (the example is from an attempted update to fink itself). ### execution of gzip failed, exit code 139 Unpacking the file fink-0.17.1.tar.gz of package fink-0.17.1-1 failed. The most likely cause for this is a corrupted or incomplete download. Do you want to delete the tarball and download it again? [Y/n] Failed: unpacking file fink-0.17.1.tar.gz of package fink-0.17.1-1 failed If I respond Y the same failure repeats With some files there is mention of a segmentation error. When I went to the terminal and ran the same command I got the following error ~% gzip -dc /sw/src/fink-0.17.1.tar.gz | /sw/bin/tar -xvf- Segmentation fault (core dumped) I am not sure what happened to cause this problem. I haven't been able to find anything relevant (or that I can identify as relevant) and I would appreciate help. Regards, Stephen

Thanks, :-) On 03/01/2004, at 1:00 AM, Martin Costabel wrote: It seems clear now that your /sw/bin/tar is rotten. I would suggest to remove it, sudo mv /sw/bin/tar /sw/bin/tar_rotten, done and then fink rebuild tar. done but failed (no package description or similar diagnostic) Maybe fink reinstall gettext for good measure done (since we don't know where the problem comes from, a little voodoo may help :-) ). so then I tried again with FinkCommander and got an error message suggesting there was a problem with access to the relevant directory (paraphrasing: is it in use by another process?) So did what I am good at - voodo. Repaired permissions, rebooted and successfully updated Fink Thank you very much. I'm a little wiser and a lot happier. Regards, Stephen
