I have now downloaded both kernel-source-2.2.17_2.2.17pre6-1.deb and
kernel-source-2.2.15_2.2.15-3.deb, first from ftp.de.debian.org,
ftp.au.debian.org, and ftp.debian.org which seemed to go OK, dpkg even
installed them with no errors, but when unpacking I received:
.. files in archive ...
kernel-source-2.2.15/drivers/net/sktr.c
kernel-source-2.2.15/drivers/net/sktr.h
tar: Skipping to next file header
bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
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....
