Hello, I am a newbie to FreeBSD world. :) I got a task to port Java to a private-built FreeBSD system which is branched from FreeBSD 8.2. As a start of this, I tried to learn port stuffs, and did 'portsnap fetch' but failed. After that, I tried to change portsnap server, and I even tried a generic FreeBSD 8.2 version, which failed too with merely the same error. Here is what I got in most of the cases (not totally the same for each time, but I suppose they are familiar): ========================== # portsnap fetch Looking up us.portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 6 mirrors found. Fetching public key from your-org.portsnap.freebsd.org... done. Fetching snapshot tag from your-org.portsnap.freebsd.org... done. Fetching snapshot metadata... ahdone. Fetching snapshot generated at Tue May 28 08:03:52 CST 2013: 7719e39e7b7751c91689858400a3a514488a0d852d194b100% of 8943 kB 63 kBps 00m00s Extracting snapshot... snap/99cac1a150337b4349092e169edc231ca5025106d00d801c4b09e49c748bd8a5.gz: (Empty error message) tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. ========================== I suppose the downloaded tarball (/var/db/portsnap/7719e39e7b7751c91689858400a3a514488a0d852d194b.tgz) is broken since I cannot unpack it manually too, and I saw the file on the server becomes bigger (seems 60MB+) when I tried it hours later. Server data corrupted? Or anyone knows what might be the problem here? Thanks. Peter
