Description zagazaw2004 2013-09-17 01:40:00 UTC 
This error [Error while extracting base.txz: Lzma library: Corrupted input data] appears when I try installing FreeBSD 10.0-ALPHA1 i386 in a virtual environment.

How-To-Repeat: Download FreeBSD 10.0-ALPHA1 ISO image and install it on VirtualBox.
Comment 1 zagazaw2004 2013-09-18 18:42:49 UTC 
This problem, so far, happens on Windows 8 when using VirtualBox. The
same .ISO works on Linux. Have not tried it on Mac (do not own one).

Hi Yass, do you also see this with the final 10.0-RELEASE ISOs?
Comment 3 Mageirias Anastasios 2014-10-24 18:22:55 UTC 
Christian i've never encountered this when installing 10.0-RELEASE ISO

Sorry about the delayed reply, at the time of this question I didn't install 10-RELEASE. But no, it only happened with 10-ALPHA.
I guess it is solved.

I have the same error trying to install FreeBSD 14 (20230706) in VirtualBox 7.0.8 on macOS 10.15.17. The base.tgz is downloaded, checksum verification is passed, and extraction fails with "Lzma library error: Corrupted input data".

Any chance to reopen the bug?
Comment 6 Alexey Vyskubov 2023-07-08 11:21:18 UTC 
I must say that I've tried "fetch https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/amd64/14.0-CURRENT/base.txz" on FreeBSD 13.2. Then "tar tf" showed no error.
