The following reply was made to PR misc/3009; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> To: hfir@math.rochester.edu Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc/3009: packages-2.2/x11/fvwm-1.24r.tgz corrupt on ftp.freebsd.org Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 07:32:17 -0800 > The tarball packages-2.2/x11/fvwm-1.24r.tgz on ftp.freebsd.org seems > corrupt; it causes a "broken pipe" error with the sysinstall program, > and when downloaded manually won't unzip. There are about 50 corrupt packages currently on wcarchive, and Satoshi seems to have disappeared... :-O I'll try to get ahold of him over the next few days to correct this, but just to note that fvwm isn't the only broken package. I don't know what happened to them, but they appear to have been stomped somehow (perhaps due to an OS error of some sort on the creating or receiving machine) - they're full of NULLs..
