dpkg --contents (both under linux and hurd) says % dpkg --contents libdb2_2.4.14-1_hurd-i386.deb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1999-05-03 16:45 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1999-05-03 16:45 usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1999-05-03 16:45 usr/lib/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 255456 1999-05-03 16:44 usr/lib/libdb2.so.2.4.14 tar: Skipping to next file header dpkg-deb (subprocess): unexpected end of file in member data \ in libdb2_2.4.14-1_hurd-i386.deb gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1 Although there might be intrinsic problems with the package, it looks that not the entire thing was uploaded, since I believe I downloaded the entire thing (I tried both alpha.gnu.org and ftp1.sinica.edu.tw/pub3/GNU/alpha): % ls -l libdb2_2.4.14-1_hurd-i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 197955 Jun 11 17:39 libdb2_2.4.14-1_hurd-i386.deb It is not that I hope I'd understand anything about Hurd after man starts working, but still...
