Uncaught Exception during setup

I'm getting this message box during setup:

Fatal Error: Uncaught Exception
Thread: DialogProc
Type: 9Exception
Message: Package validation failure for file
release/GraphicsMagick/libGraphicsMagick-devel/libGraphicsMagick-devel-1.3.12-1.tar.bz2
AppErrNo: 1
<OK>

Clicking OK aborts setup: can't "skip" this problem and continue.

On investigation using bunzip2 -tv I get

release/GraphicsMagick/libGraphicsMagick-devel/libGraphicsMagick-devel-1.3.12-1.tar.bz2: 
file ends unexpectedly

but the archive has downloaded properly - that is, md5sum
df0b5482c3eee884f8926ac57d436ceb
is correct.

Please could this archive be re-packaged and re-issued?

In case there are other instances which would have shown up later, for 
completeness I ran bunzip2 -tv on the entire resource and found no more 
problems under /release/ but additionally under /release-legacy/ found:

release-legacy/mhash/mhash-0.9.1-1-src.tar.bz2: 
                                              bad magic number (file not 
created by bzip2)
release-legacy/mhash/mhash-0.9.1-1.tar.bz2: 
                                              bad magic number (file not 
created by bzip2)
release-legacy/X11/glitz/glitz-0.4.4-2-src.tar.bz2: 
                                              trailing garbage after EOF 
ignored

(I realise that with high probability nobody will want to fiddle with 
the legacy release.)

Thank you,

Fergus
