Please provides the source/link of your rpm package

seems for you more easy to download libreoffice.gz, tar -xzf
then find any rpm
and try yourself to rpm2txz
sorry but i dont know how to send a file to you.

I just tested the file here and seems to work ok.
rpm2txz /home/guest/Downloads/*.rpm
rpm2tgz /home/guest/Downloads/*.rpm
Both produce the expected file in the current folder. Here is the output of:
Code: Select all
file /home/guest/Downloads/zoneminder-1.24.2-6.fc14.i686.rpm
RPM v3.0 bin i386/x86_64

It worked here. I've extracted xzm module made from rpm file and it contains two directory /opt and /var so I'm assuming this is not rpm file or Porteus. Double-clicked on the rpm file and it converted automatically from GUI.
Maybe a corrupted download ?

Sorry, I can't reproduce this error on my side so I cannot exactly understand what's the problem. Maybe another one will have the same problem or even another member may know what's wrong on your side.
Did you checked md5sum of package ?

@bour59
maybe you could provide a link to 'Libreoffice3.5_calc-3.5.7.2.iso586.rpm' which originally caused the error?

It seems to be inside a tar.gz archive that can be found at

Works fine.
Code: Select all
rpm2txz libreoffice3.5-en-US-3.5.7-2.i586.rpm
Slackware package maker, version 3.14159.
Searching for symbolic links:
No symbolic links were found, so we won't make an installation script.
You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
package if you like.
This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!
Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n

Did you run your rpm in an OS that uses rpm apps with success? Your rpm may be corrupt!
Porteus won't correct corruptions...

I am uploading working version now. A few tweaks were required.
Add menu icon
Menu item points to script that adds /opt/libroffice to $PATH
Start main interface with: soffice
After activation you can start from menu under 'office' or from terminal with:
libreoffice
You can also start the individual programs by terminal (e.g scalc swriter)

NB: This is the converted .rpm package and as such i won't post it in the modules section. A better job was done with the 3.6 version
here.
