Metacello load error 'File is too short' in Squeak6.0alpha latest update: #17402 ?

Hannes Hirzel
Hello

Following the Metacello installation instructions [1] the following
step A runs fine but the step  B afterwards gives an error message
'File too short'    [2], marked with '"ERROR FILE TOO SHORT'

"A: Get the Metacello configuration (for Squeak users)"
Installer gemsource
    project: 'metacello';
    addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello';
    install.


"B: Bootstrap Metacello Preview, using mcz files (#'previewBootstrap'
symbolic version"
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project
  version: #'previewBootstrap') load.


Any suggestion how to fix this?

Kind regards
Hannes

Please make sure to clean your package cache, maybe an mcz got corrupted earlier during download.
(I just recently fixed some things in the workflow)

For reference, When I execute the snippet, My transcript output is as follows:

Re: Metacello load error 'File is too short' in Squeak6.0alpha latest update: #17402 ?

Hannes Hirzel
Thank you, Tobias, for the explanation

--------------------------------------------------------

Found that the file

MultiByteFileStream:
'/home/user20/Documents/Squeak6.0alpha-17382-64bit-All-in-One.app/Contents/Resources/package-cache/Metacello-MC-dkh.680.mcz'

just had 0 bytes length. I deleted it and restarted [3]. Then the load
process [4] as given in https://github.com/Metacello/metacello went
fine.
