Re: dpkg problem
I have experienced similar results when the package archives are incomplete and/or corrupted. Deleting the first .deb and then downloading it again has fixed things, even though the files are exactly the same size etc. In other instances retrying the exactly same command has rectified the "error"! I'm sure someone more experienced may have more info, but that's what I've found.

After downloading kernel-source-2.2.17_2.2.17pre6-1.deb (for the third time) from both ftp.debian.au.org, www.au.debian.org and ftp.debian.org and then executing "tar -Ixvf kernel-source-2.2.17.tar.bz2" in /usr/src I received the following error: .. list of files in archive ... kernel-source-2.2.17/drivers/net/epic100.c bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.

Archive/kernel problems
Sorry, on the first post, I forgot a subject.. I apologise for the duplication...

Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout) < full error message > tar: Archive kernel-source-2.2.15.tar.bz2 EOF not on block boundary tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Each of the archives fails at when unpacking a different file. I can't see how there could be two corrupted archives, with two different versions of the package, on the three different servers I have tried. So I downloaded, from ftp.aarnet.lkams.kernel.org linux-2.2.17.tar.bz2, and linux-2.2.17.tar.gz, (no small task over a 56k link), and when I check the archive I get: /usr/src/$ gzip -dv linux-2.2.17.tar.gz linux-2.2.17.tar.gz: gzip: linux-2.2.17.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error This leads me to believe that the problem is at my end, but I am at a loss to find the cause, or for that matter, where to look for more info
Re: Archive/kernel problems
Yes, tried that only a couple of days ago, I have experienced the problem, both before and after the check.

Freshly downloaded archived behaved the same way. This pretty well ensures that the problem is with my hardware, and so raises my next question: What programs are available which will run tests to confirm my suspicions and identify what I need to replace?
