Known Issues:First attempt to create a folder failsA freshly installed system cannot create a new folder in the UI on the first try. The second and subsequent attempts succeed. WARNINGs in the log file:The unpack agent extracts files from containers. A container is any kind of file that stores other files. unpack uses utilities, such as, tar, gzip, ar, rpm, zcat, etc. to perform the extraction. In cases where the container is corrupt or otherwise ill-formed, the utilities may fail to successfully extract. The unpack agent will report this as a warning and skip to the next container. The warnings can be safely ignored. An example of a failed extraction and subsequent unpack warning is: WARNING pfile 1153340 Minor zip error... ignoring error. LOG pfile 1153340 Minor zip error(2)... ignoring error. WARNING pfile 1153340 Command bzcat failed LOG pfile 1153340 WARNING Command bzcat failed: /srv/fossology/repository//ununpack/0/916132eba75e9fcb069c7b6327f60b3b318ceef0.6ab7c5ecb2f03728c63644e4250bde34.656852992.dir/SRPMS/iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.742-0.5.el5.src.rpm.unpacked.dir/iscsi-initiator-utils-drop-bad-events.patch Jobs Ready/Scheduled for a long time:At peak processing times, the show jobs status window will display jobs in a ready or scheduled state for a long time (typically when processing many projects at once or large projects). This is normal behavior and dependent on the number and speed of the agents running.
