install 10.20 patch dec 2001

[Brian Harris]

I am tring to install dec 2001 patch for 10.20 that I down loaded from hp. when I ran command given by hp:
swinstall
-s /tmp/XSW800HWCR1020_10.20_800.depot \
-x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true

I get following error saying patch does not look like an tar archive. Any suggestions on how to proceed.

ERROR: tar: /oradata/bch/XSW800HWCR1020_10.20_800.depot : This
doesn't look like a tar archive
ERROR: tar: /oradata/bch/XSW800HWCR1020_10.20_800.depot : Skipping to

ERROR: The file "/usr/include/sio/lpr0.h" was not loaded because it
is missing from the source media.

It seems that your depot is corrupt

Try

tar tvf /tmp/XSW800HWCR1020_10.20_800.depot

If this is not OK then redownload or ftp binary your file to the server

the tar command showed a directory checksum error towards end of file, so part of it must be corrupt. I will try downloading again
