Redmine 4.2.4 installation failure, reason: tar.gz archive broken
0%
Description
When trying to update my Redmine instance to latest version 4.2.4, I encountered the following error:
From there, I downloaded redmine-4.2.4.tar.gz (sha256: 7f50fd4a6cf1c1e48091a87696b813ba264e11f04dec67fb006858a1b49a5c7d)
When running the command bundle exec rake generate_secret_token, I was confronted with an error.
Reason:
The downloaded file has artifacts. Take a look at the root level:
PaxHeader redmine-4.2.4
What is this PaxHeader directory for?
Please note that this PaxHeader directory can be found not only on the root level, but also in various levels below, e.g.:
redmine-4.2.4\lib\PaxHeader\
Inside this directory I see various file swith strange content, e.g. tasks with content:
17 gid=532141437 17 uid=532141437 27 mtime=1630962034.519262
These files cause installation to fail.
As workaround, I downloaded the .zip file redmine-4.2.4.zip instead and could install Redmine without problems.
