Dear All,

I tried installing (actually, upgrading) R to 1.0.1 using the binary on CRAN for
SuSE 6.3 and I got the following error:

"unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic";

then I checked the packages signature (using gnorpm) and got:

"md5 sum does not match signature".

What is happening here?

Ramon

One possibility is that you FTP'ed it in ASCII mode instead of binary.

I tried to install the rpm on a SuSE 6.2 system a few days ago and got
the same error message, so I installed it from source.
There really seems to be an error with the rpm.

Thanks! (and no problem: I cannot complain, since I haven't done any work!).
Thanks too to all of you that replied, which indicated that it wasn't just
me doing something silly.

I got the same message, and I _definitely_ used BIN.  I gave up and compiled
from source, which worked flawlessly on SuSE 6.3: give it a go!

sorry for the inconvenience, something has gone wrong during the upload
of this rpm from home to office. A new one is now in place (on
ftp://ftp-stat.sci.uni-klu.ac.at/pub/R/bin/linux/suse/RPMS/6.3/i386/base)
and will soon reach CRAN via mirrors.

After upgrading to 6.4 I have only one 6.3 machine left which I use
seldomly, so I did not recognize the bug, sorry.
