Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Recieving an Error when using the Package installer

Well, people use this functionality without trouble via the apm repository every day and the files generated by the repository are .apm files. I don't think it's a problem with the procs or the switches. If it's not a permissions problem with the apm-workspace directory, I would suspect that there something different about the way you are building your .apm files. They should be zipped tar archives. How are you creating the files?
