Description:
Hi,

I've downloaded MySQL Workbech source RPm. When I wanted to isntall I've got this error:

# rpm -ivh mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.38-1el6.src.rpm
   1:mysql-workbench-gpl    ########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.38-src.tar.gz;4f6b0ef3: cpio: read failed - Bad file descriptor

How to repeat:
- Get the source RPM
- Try yo install the RPM.

Suggested fix:
Replace workbench-gpl-5.2.38-src.tar.gz in the RPM with a complete one.

What exact URL (or mirror site) you had used to download this package? I had no problem to install the one you referred to on FC14 box.

I've followed this link:

And selected some UK site. Here's the exact URL I've downloaded it from:

RHEL5/Centos5 is not supported because it ships with too old libraries.
