mspatcha install fails "no valid cabinets found"
jfk75 opened this issue · 9 comments
Hi,
I wanted to install Adobe Reader DC, and somewhere on the net I read that I need to install mspatcha first. I tried so with winetricks (actual version, fresh download as of today). "winetricks mspatcha" leads to apparently downloading the file, but it ends up with an error message:
"Note: command cabextract -q --directory= (...)mspatcha/i386/mspatcha.dl returned status 1. Aborting."
And before it says:
".wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/mspatcha/i386/mspatcha.dl: no valid cabinets found"
I didn't find anything related with a quick search. Can anybody help me?
Kind regards,
John
Works fine here:

I'll need more details; could you attach the full output (including wine/winetricks version).
Looks like a problem with the underscores? Maybe the FS being used is buggy. Is it just EXT4 or something else?
I have the same issue, it seems to affect anything where cabextract is involved. Here is the full output of the above command:

As stated above, it affects anything where cabextract is involved. i'm not entirely sure it's a WINE/winetricks problem as I have tried manually extracting various MS EXEs with cabextract and it's always produced corrupt cabs (but only when using -F). This is a recent issue as well, as I was able to use winetricks without issue only a week ago.
Sounds like a cabextract regression. What version are you using?
1.6-1.1 - the latest version on Debian testing/unstable.
For me on Gentoo, it works with 1.6 and 1.7, fails with 1.8.
Looks like upstream bug; I'll try to bisect if I have time.
Fixed upstream in cabextract. Thanks for the detailed report @Goatroth. You'll likely want to forward this to Debian so they can backport the patch.
Debian Buster now finally has the good libmspack 0.10.1-1, instead of the broken 0.8-1. So in all Debian releases "cabextract -F" should now work again.
Ubuntu had a better timing, and was only affected for a short while last year.
With other words: The cause for this issue and #1154, #1172, #1178, #1193, and eventually others is fixed.
If you put any warnings about this issue anywhere, you can remove them now.
Thanks to all who worked on this and for letting me know. So good to see how things are moving forward.
