par2 error in ARM Linux

[freeze]

Hi,

I have been running SABnzbd for ages on my QNAP NAS. I had some problems with the release candidates' par checking (the WindowsError not defined one, that was reported by someone else). Lately I switched to 0.5.0 final and now par checking and repairing seems to be completely broken for me.

The error I get through the Web Interface is:

Reparing failed. [Errno 8] Exec format error

I looked at the logs but couldn't find anything really...do you have any ideas?

Thanks

I suspect that is what the OS reports when SABnzbd launches par2 and the OS doesn't like it.
Did you get this from a QNAP repository?
If so, please report this to the QNap package creators,
we are not in a position to support NAS systems.

Hello shypike,

thanks for the quick reply...

No, I am actually not using the QNAP package system (QPKG). This was a manual install with python from an optware feed. Did anything change concerning the par2 execution? It used to work quite well until now...

Thanks

Have you tried to run the par2 utility separately?

I actually use par2 quite often from the command line and never had any problems. It also worked without problems in 0.4.x, so I suspected a change in the code that calls the command. I disabled the par2 quick checking yesterday to see if that made any difference, but sadly it didn't

edit:
on a side note:

my par2 is actually a script which calls the original par2 containing

Code: Select all

/share/MD0_DATA/optware/lib/ld-linux.so.3 --library-path /share/MD0_DATA/optware/lib /opt/bin/par2.run "$@"

I use this because of different library versions...could this be the culprit? Would this be fixable?

Many thanks

I hope the first line of the script is the shebang, else the OS won't know what to do with it.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

Or something like that.
Don't forget to do a chmod +x

no actually that was the complete script I have been using for quite some time now (instead of using a chroot environment for my optware)

I have just switched to another optware feed though which makes it possible to use par2 without these modifications AND without chroot...will report back as soon as I get something downloaded

[freeze]

it works when using the alternative par2 without using a chroot environment...

thanks for you help
