>Description:

A recent sparc install on the TNF testbed failed with the error messages

  gzip: (stdin): unexpected end of file
  tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
  tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
  tar: Failed seek on file ./etc/skel/.shrc (Invalid argument)

This has happened a few times before, all this year.  The console logs
are at:

For reference, there were similar errors on i386 in 2017-2018 when it
was having trouble reading the install CD.  Here are the logs from the
first and last one of those:
