10.3 knetworkmanager cpio bad magic

English Applications
#1

Hello all. I am trying to update knetworkmanager to a more current version than the version found in the 10.3 repository. I’ve tried adding the 11 and Factory repositories(only one at a time) and installing, but each time I am met with
Code:

RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad Magic

I am not sure how to remedy the problem. I’ve seen from other posts this may have something to do with update or delta RPMs, but i still don’t know how to fix the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(I’ve also tried using zypper, same error)

Hi
With 11, they changed the way rpm’s are packaged lzma rather than bz2.
Maybe try compiling from the source rpm.


rpmbuild --rebuild <name_of_rpm>

Thanks for the response! Am i going to have to do this for each of the dependencies the new networkmanager-kde will require? (there are a ton)

Hi
More than likely and get into dependency hell… Have you tried
building from source or svn? Have a read here;
