It looks like there is an integrity problem with previous RPM file "splunkforwarder-4.3-115073-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm" I downloaded on the 11th of January 2011
Trying to extract the file using rpm2cpio indicates the file was truncated:
rpm2cpio splunkforwarder-4.3-115073-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm |cpio -idmv
./opt/splunkforwarder/README-splunk.txt
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin/bloom
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin/btool
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin/btprobe
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin/bzip2
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin/locktool
./opt/splunkforwarder/bin/openssl
cpio: premature end of file
I redownloaded the file from Splunk and compared md5sums, and it showed that the previous version I downloaded was corrupt. The newly downloaded file extracted correctly.
