Colleagues

I'm reinstalling R after reformatting a partition containing the applications software. The urpmi returned this error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] R]# urpmi R-1.8.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
installing R-1.8.1-1mdk.i586.rpm

1:R #################error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/R/library/base/html/00Index.html;40036372: cpio: read


I did not see any mention of this problem in the help archive Is there any problem with the rpm? Or perhaps just something odd on my system? Should I uninstall the rpm using something like urpmi.removemedia, and then try and install the source with ./congure, make and make install?

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Sam
