Yep, the .sizes file does appear to be missing.
Fix #1
Open a terminal.
cd to the directory containing the .pkg file.
type:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre>touch GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pkg/Contents/Resources/GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.sizes</pre>[/quote]
Now try running the installer again.
Fix #2
do all steps for Fix #1
then:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre>
cd GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pkg/Contents/Resources/
echo "NumFiles 14
InstalledSize 419
CompressedSize 152" > GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.sizes</pre>[/quote]
Now try running the installer again.
Fix #3
Do all previous steps.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre>gunzip GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pax.gz
pax -r -f GIMP-Plugins-common-A-L.pax
mv ./usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/* /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins/
</pre>[/quote]
By the time you get here the plugins will be installed. I've no idea why the sizes file is missing and I would fix it but I can't download a 80 meg file, fix it and reupload it on my 14.4 =]
