Hmmm. Sounds peculiar. I'll let you take it from here. Please let us know how you make out. -- -Eric 'shubes'

This error is intermittent too. For some packages, the problem never occurs. The first error you posted is from the sandbox. This last run, everything installed ok in the sandbox, and the error didn't occur until the upgrade to the live system. It happens to different packages as well. Definitely something intermittent. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. These types of bugs are terribly difficult to track down, but not necessarily impossible. So either the file really *is* bad, or its not bad and the integrity check is falsely failing. Because we've observed a package installing successfully in the sandbox and failing later, my guess is the later (the check is falsely failing). The rpm file is probably good, but the rpm program erroneously thinks it's bad. Somehow. I wonder, is there perhaps a special character unprintable character in the filename that we're not seeing? Kinda doubt it, so long as the stock settings are used. I'm beginning to think this may be a hardware problem, like a hard drive or memory going bad. What's the state of your HDD(s)? Do you have raid of any kind? Can you run smartctl on the drives? How much free space is there? -- -Eric 'shubes' On 10/24/2012 10:22 AM, G V wrote: Here you go. rpm -qa | grep rpm | sort redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-32.____el5.centos rpm-4.4.2.3-28.el5_8 rpm-build-4.4.2.3-28.el5_8 rpm-devel-4.4.2.3-28.el5_8 rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.____rf rpm-libs-4.4.2.3-28.el5_8 rpm-python-4.4.2.3-28.el5_8 Eric, thanks for your patience and continued help.

They're identical, which they should be. That's good. So how does rpm manage to install the packages in the sandbox, but chokes on them (sometimes) when installing them in the base system? I don't think I've run this stuff on COS 5.8 yet. Has anyone updated these packages with qtp-newmodel on COS5.8? Please let us know if you have. I wouldn't expect a problem with that, but who knows?
