Title: Ipkg Install Problem
Post by: Lisztfr on May 19, 2009, 11:15:37 am

Hi,

I read a lot about this error while installing an ipk :

ERROR zcat, and so on,

unexpected end of file,

while unpacking control.tar.gz for example.

==================

This could be due to bad permissions set to the files inside the package, to corrupted package, to an old installer. Someone told to read the faq, but else than read it from begin to end, there is no obvious answer; what is the definitive answer to this ? i tried to change the permissions for the files inside the archive, no joy.

the package is the imagebrowser

My ROM is version 0.a8, sharp sl-5600

thanks, L
