Hi all,

the tarball for shadow on 

ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/impl/packages

seems to be broken:

grieg:/tmp # tar xvfj /tmp/lsb/si/build/packages/shadow-4.0.3.tar.bz2 

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
grieg:/tmp #
