[cobalt-users] Problems with loading a 3rd party package on a Qube 3

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

We use antivirus software from Sophos and they have something for Linux IF
you are running on Intel. I could not take advantage of it until our Qube 2
decided to die and we were able to buy a brand new Qube 3 ! :-)

So I tried loading it and I get an error:

The package file is incomplete. The packing_list is invalid or missing.
The software package was not installed.

The file I was trying to load is: mmsmtp.linux.intel.tar

I contacted Sophos tech support and they said:

I'm not overly familliar with the Qube, but if it runs Linux, I'm sure we
can get this working!
How are you trying to install? Is it via a regular shell using 'tar -xvf
<filename>'?

So does anyone know how to answer this ?

Thanks !

Chuck
