Re: unpacking of archive failed...MD5 sum mismatch

I have tried both your suggestions.  Here are the results:

Turning off the prelink macro results in the same problem.  This is the 
output from rpm -ivv

D: undo      100755  1 (   0,   0)    286004 
/opt/mathematica-6.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libPHANToMIO.so.4;482289a0
GZDIO:  137907 reads, 1129734144 total bytes in 41.227427 secs
error: unpacking of archive failed on file 
/opt/mathematica-6.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libPHANToMIO.so.4;482289a0: 
cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

If I install with --nomd5 then the install succeeds.

Comparing the md5sums of the installed file with the original file shows 
that the file is not corrupt.


Unpacking the archive with rpm2cpio and cpio successfully shows all the 
files.

Is there somewhere else I can look?
