/scripts/upcp strangeness?

[teakwood]

I got errors from upcp on one of my VPSs today, when I went to check the email for another VPS to see if it had the same problem, it wasn't there. On looking at the server, upcp is still running (9 hours after it started).

The first one gave me this error:

==> BAD/TAMPERED signature detected! <==

Signature invalid for distribution file. Please investigate.

Distribution id = R/RJ/RJRAY/Image-Size-3.01.tar.gz
CPAN_USERID RJRAY (Randy J Ray <[email protected]>)
CALLED_FOR Image::Size

Any ideas what I should do about this, and any thoughts whether the other one is related? I assume I should kill the still-running upcp, but how will I know what is causing it?

This may simply be due to your CPAN libraries being out of date:

rm -fr /home/.cpan

/scripts/perlinstaller Digest::SHA

Curious. Tried that first on the machine that had stuck itself in upcp for 9 hours. Result:

root@magenta [~]# /scripts/perlinstaller Digest::SHA
Method: Perl Expect
Testing connection speed...(this could take a while)...Done
Ping:36.417 Testing connection speed to cpan.catalyst.net.nz using pureperl...(53183.33 bytes/s)...Done
Ping:169.006 Testing connection speed to www.perl.com using pureperl...(17305.56 bytes/s)...Done


At this point nothing happens, except it outputs a linefeed every 20 minutes or so, and it looks like it will be there another 9 hours.

This is the same place it was stuck when I killed it.

Anyone know what's going on?
