[cobalt-users] [Qube2] Bad package file.

[Malcolm McLeary <mim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

I'm attempting to install the most recent updates to a Qube2 and it 
simply returns ...

     Bad package file.

What does this really mean?

Currently this Qube2 says its software consists of ...

     All-Kernel_mips Release 1.0 
     Cobalt OS Release 4.0 
     MFG message patch Release 1.0 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.0 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.1 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.2 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.3 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.4 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.6 
     Qube2-Security Release 2.7 
     Qube2-Update-OS Release 2.0 
     Qube2E-Infoplace Release 2.1

The proble packages are ...

     Security: Denial of Service Update 2.5
     Security: proftpd Update 2.8

I have downloaded the packages a couple of times and attempted to load 
them from a couple of machines ... always with the same result.  

The Qube2 has even been rebooted between install attempts, but it still 
generates the same error.

I have manually unpacked the packages, just to have a look and they 
appear to be ok.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,  Malcolm
