Invalid magic
« on: May 27, 2004, 04:01:44 pm »
Using OZ3.2 after playing around with OZ3.3.6pre1 (just decided to wait for OpenEmbedded) and am now finding the following error when trying to reinstall programs that used to work before:

   Dealing with package xxx
   ipkg: Invalid magic
   ipkg: *** Couldn\'t kill old gunzip process*** aborting loading conf file /etc/ipkg.conf

I believe that \"Invalid magic\" is due to not having certain libraries loaded.  But I am trying to load packages that just need the already installed required libraries.

BTW, I may have given up on OZ3.3.6pre1 too early, but there needs to be a decent HOW-TO on migrating from OZ3.2 to the new ROM including how to use the Hancom Apps.

Thanks

John

invalid magic comes from a corrupt tar.gz (read ipk) file.
