HI all,
I've managed to install from VL 5.9 Live with only minor issues (which I've resolved), but now I am having problems installing or updating anything thereafter.
It doesn't matter whether I use gslapt, slapt-get, installpkg...I always get "ERROR: Package is corrupt" messages and the install fails. I can open any of the .tlz packages (and extract from them) using xarchiver, so I'm pretty sure the packages are not corrupt at all. Downloaded packages are going into /home/ftp, but I've tried manually doing things from, say, home/<username>/temp (in case it's a permissions problem or something) and the issue persists.
Any ideas?

Do you have a swap partition? Yup. Fstab (anything wrong there?): dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
Parted tells me I have 3.90GB of it. and how much ram does your box have? 512MB |

No problems there: lzma -dtv audacious-1.3.2-i486-1.tlz
audacious-1.3.2-i486-1.tlz: decoded succesfully

Would running md5sum against the downloaded packages using the repo .m5dsum file be useful to ensure they truely aren't corrupt downloads?edit: I guess your previous post basically takes this out of the equation  |

ERROR: Package is corrupt: /home/ftp/pub/veclinux/packages/./base/pkgtools-tukaani-1.2.4-i586-1vl60.tlz
Failed to execute command: [/sbin/upgradepkg --reinstall /home/ftp/pub/veclinux/packages/./base/pkgtools-tukaani-1.2.4-i586-1vl60.tlz]
Aiieeeee. Oh well, I take it I can just extract the contents manually and dump them over the original (or something similar)? |

Reinstalling pkgtools-tukaani didn't fix it. Oh well.
Edit: even using the '--no-md5' option gives a corrupt error.

Okay, I've reinstalled using the "normal" VL 5.9 media, and everything works fine now. Thanks to everyone for the prompt responses, even if it didn't fix things for my Live CD install! |
