Suggestions?

Greetings!

Do you have enough free space in the location where you're attempting this? Do other packages work okay?

The OS is installed on /dev/sda1

# df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 98G 42G 52G 45% /

As you can see only 6 files from the complete multilib archive were showing a problem.

In case you might wonder about ram:

# free --giga
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 16 6 0 0 9 9
Swap: 17 0 17

I checked my two upload locations.
The files in https://slackware.nl/people/alien/multilib/ are OK, but just to be sure I re-uploaded to http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/

Where did you download from?

Downloaded originally from http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ but am currently downloading from https://slackware.nl/people/alien/multilib/. I'm guessing the error is at my end so I scrubbed the local repository and am pulling from slackware.nl.

Fresh download solved the problem. Apparently there was something on my end that didn't like those 6 files but this install with files from the NL site went flawlessly.

Yeah, I've had that before. Usually, it's nothing to worry about and a fresh download will fix it.

I'm curious as to whether or not rsync would have noticed corrupt files and if there is an rsync server for the alien multilibs.

Found rsync://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/ Thanks Eric!
