Dear fellow Debian users,
Sometimes when I try to install a package, it gives me a
"gzip: stdout: Broken pipe: error. Numerous packages do this. Here's
the output from a few:
# dpkg -i offix-*
gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
dpkg: error processing offix-execute_2.4a-2.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
dpkg: error processing offix-files_2.4f-1.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
offix-execute_2.4a-2.deb
offix-files_2.4f-1.deb
# dpkg -i povray-manual_3.0.10-3.deb
gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
dpkg-deb: subprocess gzip -dc returned error exit status 1
dpkg: error processing povray-manual_3.0.10-3.deb (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
povray-manual_3.0.10-3.deb
No matter what I do, it gives me these errors. I have dpkg Version
1.4.0.17 and gzip Version 1.2.4-14. What can I do to fix this problem?
Could it be in the kernel? I'm running 2.1.25 and haven't had a chance
to go to .41. Would that help my problem?
Also, is there a decent CAD program available for linux in debian format?
thanks a lot
-lars
