      Hi

      I have installed 1.2.3 RC3 but cannot install any packages. I get the following result
      Downloading package configuration file… done.
      Saving updated package information... done.
      Downloading squid and its dependencies... done.
      Checking for successful package installation... failed!

      Installation aborted.

      Log file only show:
      php: /pkg_mgr_install.php: Beginning package installation for squid.

      Get the same with any package

      Any Ideas

        This is on a 1.2.3 RC3 Live CD installation

        This is what I found in the pkg_mgr_squid.log log file:
        Beginning package installation.
        Downloading package configuration file…
        squid-2.7.7 Array
        (
            [0] => tar: +CONTENTS: Not found in archive
            [1] => tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
            [2] => pkg_add: tar extract of /tmp/apkg_squid-2.7.7.tbz failed!
            [3] => pkg_add: unable to extract table of contents file from '/tmp/apkg_squid-2.7.7.tbz' - not a package?
            [4] => pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed
        )

        This happens to all the packages. The file is in the /tmp Directory.

        Thanks

          Did you actually install to the hard drive or is it still running from the CD?

          You might try a newer snapshot than the "official" RC3, too.
