I am trying to install the Citrix ICA .dsl offered in a post by one of the members.

I got the message "invalid gzip magic". Further in the post , it was suggested I install the gnu-utils.dsl, which I have done. I still get the same message. Would appreciate any suggestions on resolution of this issue.

Possibly a corrupt file. Did you verify the download is complete?

not official, so no md5. Did notice something unusual though. My firefox download mgr says 2.3M, but once downloaded ls -lh yields 6.1M as file size, so something fishy's going on.

.dsl available at < citrixica.dsl >

Turns out download was corrupt. Emailed dominik, the contributor, don't know if he's fixed it on his website, but he emailed me the .dsl, which I installed. Works great!! This open source stuff, particularly the community help, rules. Thanks for the help.
