gzip: stdin: not in gzip format #18

Closed SanskritFritz closed 9 years ago

SanskritFritz commented 9 years ago

When I issue a pacmatic -Syu I get this output:

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Recent ML chatter: 
Please enable CheckSpace in pacman.conf

Well, the problem is gone and pacmatic still works well. I guess this was not pacmatic's fault.

It was there and then gone for me, now seems to be back again...

This happens when there's no ML archive to be downloaded yet (generally the first few days of a month). It's harmless, but could probably be fixed to fail silently, or notify the user about the absence, instead of this sorta cryptic error.
