could not install this package.  the GUI package did not show this as a
package to install.  when I attempted to install manually with the command

	ipkg install opie-vlc-0.6.0_arm.ipk

the following errors where given

	file not in gzip format
	unexpected end of file
	ERROR unpacking control.tar.gz in file opie-vlc-0.6.0_arm.ipk

could not install opie-vlc...  see above.
