Right, looking at this logically :-
1) You have downloaded a package that does not contain the files bash and
make.
2) Others, including me have downloaded the same files, and found that bash
and make are in the archives.
So some questions. What are the file sizes of the files you downloaded ?
Did you run md5sum on the archives to check there consistancy ?
Does your ISP run a transparent cache that could be returning the same broken
file each time you try to download it ? (I ask cos this has happened to me in
the past, not with that ISP any more ;) )
It seems to me that something is happening that is causing you to get the same
broken file repeatedly when you download it. Can you disable any caching
software you are using, empty the caches of your web browser and ensure that
the md5 sums of the files you are looking at match those for the files you
are trying to download ?
