Hey! I want to package Smack for Ubuntu Dapper, but I only have like,
a couple days left. Could you tell me where to get the tarball that
actually fully extracts? I tried finding you on IRC in #lad, but I
guess you're not on yet.

dana@email-addr-hidden:~/debs-dapper/Smack-0.2.1$ tar zxf smack_0.2.1.orig.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
dana@email-addr-hidden:~/debs-dapper/Smack-0.2.1$

I've downloaded it several times from Berlios...

Thanks!
