Following instructions at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-sles:

zypper in aspnetcore-runtime-3.1

got:

Installation of dotnet-runtime-3.1-3.1.11-1.x86_64 failed:
Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/3.1.11/Microsoft.VisualBasic.Core.dll;6001d5be: cpio: read failed - No such file or directory
error: dotnet-runtime-3.1-3.1.11-1.x86_64: install failed

Version 3.1.10 is OK

@leecow @dagood can you help here?

@rbhanda maybe this is related to other 3.1.11 packages.microsoft.com issues? #5838

I was able to install .NET 5.0.102 SDK on a SLES linux machine. I wonder if this is related to folks hitting a different mirror and that is why I am not able to repro this.

Now, I noticed that http://packages.microsoft.com/sles/12/prod/dotnet-runtime-3.1.11-x64.rpm is tiny compared to others

[rbhanda]

Thanks for pointing this out @rtssrl
I have re-uploaded this file and I can download the file with 28.7 MB size

[rtssrl]

OK, Thanks!
Now error seems to be with aspnetcore-runtime-3.1.11-x64.rpm

I've tried to removed packages, cleared zypper cache and re-run zypper in aspnetcore-runtime-3.1

aspnetcore-runtime-3.1.11-x64.rpm looks a bit smaller than aspnetcore-runtime-3.1.10-x64.rpm

[rbhanda]

hi @rtssrl thanks a lot for reporting this. I am trying to get to the root cause of these files getting corrupted. I will keep this thread updated with the progress.

[rbhanda]

The aspnetcore-runtime-3.1.11-x64.rpm corruption issue should be resolved now.

Don't know if this is related, but I'm having a similar issue with dotnet-sdk-3.1-3.1.405-1.x86_64:

Same file size issue:

[rbhanda]

Thanks a lot for reporting @beanotj . I have updated the file and it should get reflected on packages,microsoft.com in some time (~20 mins)

[beanotj]

@rbhanda: Everything looks good, thanks!

[rtssrl]

Hi @rbhanda, now zypper in aspnetcore-runtime-3.1 is OK, thanks!

We're still seeing issues trying to acquire a non-corrupted version of: dotnet-sdk-3.1.405-x64.rpm
The corrupted version appears to have spread around the Azure nodes.
Sometimes we've got lucky and acquired the correct package, but most times not. Depends on which mirror we ultimately hit, I guess.

For example:
wget http://csd-apt-weu-d-4.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/yumrepos/microsoft-rhel7.3-prod/dotnet-sdk-3.1.405-x64.rpm -O- | md5sum

The corrupted version returns the checksum: 5eb9c4854342778b93d5ef55e83d265a
This file is 68MB and fails to install.

The correct version returns the checksum: 3d4b099cbc73b62e673c9c84a234f0a2

[Chardrazle]

To follow up, we've not had any occurrences of the corrupt version for at least a week now. So it looks like the correct one has propagated.

Ok good. Closing. Thanks for the report!
