I've very strange problem with installing some .ipk games via webos manager. Generally, it works flawlessly - for example, I've installed Giant (Fighting) Robots (122 MB unpacked), or Astraware Casino (4.5 MB unpacked), and it went well.

Yet, every time I try to install X-Plane Default, webos manager get stuck on step 4 (unpacking) - it just stay at this step forever, no matter how many times I try. I can cancel without problems, so technically, manager isn't "hanged". I've watched how it looks via top, and for some time (usual, for unpacking such file) tar is writing large output, yet, no file appear (folders are created flawlessly on former steps).

The strange thing, is that after reasonable time, tar and dpkg-deb stops using cpu and creating I/O (yet, are still listed in I/O list,with 0 kb/s I/O), but webos doesn't jump into next step.

I've monitored unpacking of other big game (Giant Robots), and it's looking exactly the same - tar generating heavy write output. Yet, when it finish, webos manager starts step 5 and 6, then finalize installation successfully.

I know that it was reported before by some people (with less technical research - one guy reported "stuck on step 4, with two arrows going up and down forever", which is exactly how it looks judging by manager interface. Yet, I wasn't able to find any solutions.

I know that I can unpack X-Plane manually, yet, I'm curious why it doesn't work with webos manager as it should. Especially, that all .ipk files are packed same way, yep? So what's the "blocker" difference?...
