corrupt file

When I pacman -S gnome-extra, I get this error

error: archive dasher-4.0.4-1.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted

How I I fix this?

Thanks

Have you updated your pacman database?

pacman -Sy gnome-extra

davidwillis · 2006-10-13 20:50:14

yes, I did a pacman -Syu just before I did that. That should have updated it I think.

Do "rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/dasher-4.0.4-1.pkg.tar.gz", and try again. It should redownload the package, and all should be well.

It downloaded again, but gave me the same error. Maybe I will try downloading from a different repository.

edit:
tried a different repository, but still get the error.

I've been having this same problem today. Just yesterday I did an install on another computer with no errors.

Same problem here.
Tried different repositories also.

Make sure the "desc" file for dasher is correct, here is what the md5sum in it should be:

[chris@marbles ~]$ cat /var/lib/pacman/extra/dasher-4.0.4-1/desc | grep -A1 MD5SUM
%MD5SUM%
e13c121fc20ad818edc676204eb28d3d
[chris@marbles ~]$

EDIT: Thats what I reckon it should be, don't actually know if it is or not. I'll try and install it later and see if I succeed.

It's corrupted on ftp.archlinux.org, you're right.

I am having the same problem here.

I tryed changing mirrors, some of them give the corrupted file error, and the other don´t have the file, or something like it.

I am installing dasher from "testing", and I hope i works ok. :?

Nautilus is not working properly. The gnome splash screen freezes when loading nautilus, and after a long time, the splash screen desapears.

I will try updating gnome and gnome-extra from testing. Maybe gnome 2.16 works normally.

It would be nice if dasher problem was resolved, cause I still have time to reinstall arch.

William Koch · 2006-10-17 18:01:52

Is Dasher something important for gnome to work? Or it could be ignored during the installation and will not interfere on other things on gnome?

Off: I am almost giving XFCE4 a try. (Never used it) :?

I hope not, since I have been using ghome without it for a while now.

Thank you davidwillis.

It is not necessary. I installed everything but dasher, and gnome is working perfectly.

I asked gnome-extra in pacman, then when pacman asks if I want to install all packages from gnome-extra, I choose "no", and then pacman asks about wich packages of that list I want to install, listing one by one, I just answered no to 3 that I don´t use, including dasher. (I didn't know that pacman would list one by one :oops: )

I hope this helps other people that are having the same problem.
