This package is corrupted by a few K. It installs without reporting any errors, lilo gets run and installs an appropriate boot map, then at boot time LILO reports a CRC error because the vmlinuz file is truncated! This is wrong, even ar can tell it's a corrupt package, and dpkg should do further checks and catch an error from gzip if it's CRC doesn't match! This is a serious error, it can result in data loss when the files that are installed don't match the correct contents of the package. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Kernel Version: Linux ivanova 2.4.18rc1-lsm #1 Thu Feb 14 19:41:55 EST 2002 i686 unknown Versions of the packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a- Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-1 The GNU stdc++ library -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
