It unpacked for me, but it said: tar: End of archive volume 1 reached Of course, BSD tar is different than GNU tar. > Maybe a transfer error or something?

The japan1.pdf I have from a known good archive is 572595 bytes. The same file is in contrib/gsj/drivers/jpdf-0.2.1 and contrib/gsj/examples. I think most 'file' implementations only look at the first few bytes of the file. > More generally, I've noticed plain old failure of some of the sf mirrors > recently. Yes. The strange things are that the file sizes are the same, but contain different files (like maybe the bad archive was padded?). Also, the only changed file was the pdf, and there have been vulnerabilitites in pdf parsers recently. Maybe I'm just too paranoid :) -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
