When "n" is zero, the errno (and thus the error string) is not changed by pread, so that's a very misleading error report. So what seems to have happened is that the pack-file is too short, so we got a return value of 0, and then reported it as if it had an errno. The reason for returning zero from pread would be: - broken pread. I don't think HPUX should be a problem, so that's probably not it. - the pack-file got truncated - the offset is corrupt, and points to beyond the size of the packfile. In this case, since the offset is just 123601, I suspect it's a truncation issue, and your pack-file is simply corrupt. Either because of some problem with receiving it, or because of problems on the remote side. > fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git' failed. One thing to look out for is that the "git.kernel.org" machines aren't the "primary" ones, and the data gets mirrored from other machines. If the mirroring is incomplete, I could imagine that the remote side simply ended up terminating the connection, and you ended up with a partial pack-file. Some of the kernel.org machines ran out of disk space the other day, so maybe you happened to hit it in an unlucky window. Does it still happen?
