1529.0. "patch 401 cannot be untar'd!" by CSC32::A_LICAUSE () Mon May 05 1997 07:51

    Can someone tell us if the latest patch is any good:
    
    alexws::'DISK$PUBLIC:[PCM.UNIX_401]patch401.tar'
    
    We've tried to copy it twice now and both times get the same results:
    
    tsc.csc.cxo.dec.com> tar -xvf patch401.tar
    blocksize = 128
    x ./
    x ./console_c3_en_GB.uid, 364544 bytes, 712 tape blocks
    x ./console_c3_en_US.uid, 364544 bytes, 712 tape blocks
    x ./console_editm_en_GB.uid, 405504 bytes, 792 tape blocks
    tar: patch401.tar : This doesn't look like a tar archive
    tar: patch401.tar : Skipping to next file...
    
    
    If this patch is no good, could someone please fix it.  We have several
    customers waiting to receive this patch.
    
    And.....could someone please tell us if ALEXWS is the correct place to
    get this patch.  This system seems to be unavailable more often than
    it is available.  Please let us know if there is a more appropriate
    source of patches.

    Do not use the patch. It is clearly not ready for general availability
    since you can't untar it. When I get the word directly from CA that a
    patch is ready, I move it to CSC32::PCM$KITS:. I will chekc wit CA and
    post a note.
