doesn't give any error messages on my copy of the file. I haven't tried
installing it, because I'm on a Linux system. However, your dpkg is saying
that the fsys tarfile is bad, but it isn't according to i386/Linux dpkg
tools (which are very likely to be reliable :).
BTW, what does error 0 mean? Is that the exit status from something? Why
is 0 an error? Does anybody know?
