[vox-tech] xmms failure

I have been using xmms for quite some time, but just this morning it 
stopped working!  All of its plugins seem to have dissapeared.  The only 
change since I last used xmms succesfully was a RH up2date of an 
unrelated program.

I try to do an rpm uninstall of xmms, but it tells me it is not 
installed.  Yet, the xmms binary is still in usr/share/bin.  So I try to 
do an rpm install of xmms, hoping it will overwrite any lost files, etc, 
and I get this error:

# rpm -Uvh xmms-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ###########################################

[100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: lstat failed - Value too large 
for defined data type

Any help out there?  Thanks,

Jonathan
