This is the result of gunzip.

$ gunzip samba_2.2.7_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz

gunzip: samba_2.2.7_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz: not in gzip format

This is most probably a gunzip file and in this case you will need to use gunzip to unzip it.

gzip -d filename.gz

You could ignore the extension (by renaming, if necessary) and try unpack - or any other compression you can find/think of.

the normal way to remove the .gz extension is gunzip.

But you can do it with a rename ie the mv command.

If the second method is used, the file is not unzipped or uncompressed.

Still no luck.

$ gzip -d samba_2.2.7_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz

gzip: samba_2.2.7_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz: not in gzip format

Hi,

Maybe the file is corrupt? Did you download it from a web site or ftp it? Can you check the size and/or checksum against what it should be?

Hi ,

try

# file samba_2.2.7_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz

if its not a gzipped file then try

# swinstall -s `pwd`/samba_2.2.7_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz

#mv x.depot.gz x.depot
#swinstall x.depot
