Sorry if I am not the first one to have this problem but I can't install eclipse IDE.
When I try to install it, it says "Installation failed with an error. Show log." And in the log it says:

Does it consistently produce this same result from repeated attempts? Unfortunately the download.eclipse.org server will "transparently" redirect requests to a mirror closer to you, and if that mirror has a bad copy of the repository metadata, that could produce a result like this. I say "unfortunately" because there is no way to turn the behavior off nor otherwise control it, nor is it clear which mirror is being used, so its hard to tell which mirror might have a bad copy so that it can be removed from the server's list.

Which .xz file is it looking for specifically? We can include those in our mirror checks specifically.

I think it is
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/oxygen.
org.tukaani.xz.XZFormatException: Input is not in the XZ format

It says this in the error log
so the org.tukaani.xz is not working I guess?

Hope you can help me.
Thank you Mijasch

Dennis, here is a specific bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=534434

Similar problem reports pop up for different repos on various occasions, none of them ever reproducible. So one possible theory is a corrupted mirror that's been transparently used for the repository metadata itself. But that's impossible to confirm because this is not tracked internally in p2 the way the explicit use of mirrors is tracked when downloading the artifacts themselves.
