snapshot is corrupt

[ccc]

hi

I try to update ports tree on my freeBSD 7.0 using:
portsnap fetch update
but I'm getting this message:
Applying patches... done.
Fetching 106 new ports or files... gunzip: unknown compression format
snapshot is corrupt.

First test whether your gunzip is ok (create a gzip, then gunzip it). If it is, fetch/extract a new ports tree:

rm /var/db/portsnap/tag && portsnap fetch extract

This is usually less troublesome than trying to find out what the specific problem might be.
