Description Steve Wray 2001-05-01 03:51:40 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)


"failed on file /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/fs/sysv/inode.c: cpio: MD5 sum 
mismatch"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.download the kernel-source rpm
2.run rpm -ih
3.see the pretty error message

Actual Results:  the package failed to install. Does that warrant a "duh"?

Expected Results:  I'd normally expect a genuine redhat package to 
actually install...
without errors about the internal structure of the package.

Wow, how on earth did this one get past you guys????

I also note that there is no specific entry in bugzilla for the kernel-
source package.
Were you *that* confident of it?
LOL

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-01 08:00:41 UTC

There is no "kernel-source" bugzilla entry as it is generated by the "kernel"
.spec file, just as kernel-headers and some others.

I've done the rpm -i of the kernel source SEVERAL times in the last weeks
without problems. does the md5 sum of your file match
f8429347e75c513a3e148682a3bfab2e
?

Comment 2 Steve Wray 2001-05-01 08:12:16 UTC

Nope. I get:
d32861b91ca52f8d0c1dea442db2f0a2

I got this from the iso image at mirror.aarnet.edu.au
I also d/l'd one with rpmfind and it turned out the same.
So its not a fault with the cd burning... I mounted the image as loop too and 
got the same result.

/me boggles
The kernel-source rpm I got from a mirror really has the md5 sum I pasted.

The sunsite mirror of Red Hat Linux supports rsync. Could you try rsyncing
the file from there and see if the file changes?
(if it doesn't it's not an intrusive download due to rsync)

Comment 4 Steve Wray 2001-05-01 08:25:22 UTC

Ok, maybe mirror.aarnet.edu.au somehow got a bad iso image.

Can you contact anyone else who d/l'd that image to verify this?

Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-01 08:27:29 UTC

I'll d/l it myself and check.
