Rudiyanto,

Could you please check whether the exact files exist, or whether they
exist with suffix ".done"?  Also, please search the log for, say,
"bzip2.sh" and see if it repeats more than once.  If neither of the above
holds, please post the output of "ls -l /etc/postinstall/bzip2.sh", "ls
-ld /etc/postinstall", and "ls -ld /etc".

Thanks,
	Igor
