Installpkg for sg3_utils in 6.5.3 - corrupt?


Recommended Posts

I'm using a Lenovo SA120 with unraid to house disks.

In prior versions, I installed the slackware sg3_utils package (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html) using installpkg. I would then run AndrewX192's excellent utility to turn down the fans (they ramp up to full speed with any power cycle and have to be manually turned down) - this script is located at https://github.com/AndrewX192/lenovo-sa120-fanspeed-utility

 

I have tried downloading the sg3_utils package from slackware, from the sg3_utils homepage, etc but every time I try to install it I get the message:

 

installpkg sg3_utils-1.42-x86_64-1.txz
Verifying package sg3_utils-1.42-x86_64-1.txz.
Unable to install sg3_utils-1.42-x86_64-1.txz:  tar archive is corrupt (tar returned error code 2)

Which is bull because I tried this with my old copy of the package and new ones downloaded elsewhere (see above). Everything gives me this message. I can decompress and un-tar the file using command line utils and see the files in there. I've tried debugging the installpkg script but I can't see where it's getting stuck.

 

Can anyone help me either find a good copy or figure out how to get this installed? We're going deaf with the fan noise. Thanks!
