Subject:	rpm error for perl 5.6

Hi,

I'm trying to install perl 5.6 using the RPM from
http://cygwin-rpm.sourceforge.net/. I've downloaded the RPM file a number of
times, to make sure that it hasn't been corrupted. However, every time I try
to install (on an NT4 system, using cygwin 1.1.4) I get:

$ rpm -i --ignoreos perl-5.6.0-cygwin1.1.rpm
user martin1 does not exist - using root

[lots of this line deleted]

user martin1 does not exist - using root
unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic

Has anyone else had this trouble with the perl RPM file? I have successfully
managed to install other packages via RPM. Also, where is the cpio
executable located? (Its not under /usr/bin on my system.)

Thanks,
Daniel
