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

             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?

        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?

                      Let's have a closer look at your rpm packages:
                      # rpm -qa | grep rpm | sort

                              can be run standalone on the cli in case
        you need
                 one or the
                              other.
