Never used a Qube, but good chance that the package has been digitally signed using gpg. To get the actual tarball try:
/usr/bin/gpg --output /tmp/filename.tar --decrypt package.pkg hope that helps, alan -----Original Message----- From: Gavin Nelmes-Crocker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 12:07 PM To: Cobalt-Developers@List. Cobalt. Com Subject: [cobalt-developers] Odd package format Hi Is it me on a Sunday or has something odd been done to the Qube system pkg's normally you can open them up with tar xvfz [name of package] now when I try it tells me its not a gzip archive, but its not a tar archive either. Is it me or has anyone else found the same and found the answer - when I do the same command to open say a pkgmaster pkg no problem and in the same sense no problem when I create a pkg with tar cvfz packagename.pkg *. The really odd thing is the pkg will install as normal so it doesn't appear to be corrupted. Any ideas willingly received I only want to take a look see at how dependencies are done Regards Gavin _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
