    FreeBSD 5.1 BETA 2
    fresh install from CDROM
    this error happens repeatedly after new installations but intermittantly. If I make clean, then make again, different errors occur. I have tried re-installing several times. I even went so far as to suspect my power supply might be at fault because of the random errors. However, I replaced my PS with one that was extremely well reviewed and still the same errors occur.
    I tried the same procedure with Release 4.8 and I get a similiar error about "Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers" but, I do not get this error with Release 4.7

    ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
    make produces the following output

    ===> Extracting for cvsup-without-gui-16.1h
    >> Checksum OK for cvsup-snap-16.1h.tar.gz.
    /usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
    /usr/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

    gzip: /usr/ports/distfiles//cvsup-snap-16.1h.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error
    /usr/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui.
