But when it does "Scanning cache /home/sp/.cpan/build for sizes", see below, it chokes with (see output below): /usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header /usr/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error I removed all ~/.cpan stuff, tried it again, no difference. Does anybody have an idea what's going on?
