Hi there!

I have downloaded the sumo package of xemacs, and I'm about to unpack it, but unfortunately it comes up with this error:

tar: directory checksum error

I then tried the archives:
xemacs-sumo-2005-01-18.tar.bz2,
xemacs-sumo-2005-01-18.tar.gz, and
xemacs-sumo.tar.gz

I'm unpacking on a Solaris 8.
The gunzip, and bunzip2 operations as the first step is flawless for all three archives.
The error appears when using tar on the gunzipped, or bunzipped tar-file.

To me it seems like the tar archive within the zipped archives are erroneous.

I hope you can help me!

Best regards,
Preben
