PaxHeader.folder

[Michael Hart]

Just for your information;
    Ignore what I said prior about the way to fix PaxHeader.number issues
by just installing kdebase4 4.9.5 from Tumbleweed --some application like
firefox stopped working on my install of openSuSE 12.2

The correct way to fix the issue is to do the following:
     zypper dup --from 'KDE SC 4.9:Core packages' --from 'KDE SC 4.9:Extra'

where the KDE 4.9 repositories can be found here  :

http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories#Upstream_release_aka._KR49_.28KDE_SC_4.9.29

Keep in mind doing this will cause most of the widgets on my home desktop,
including and surprisingly my desktop backgrounds..

Good luck
Michael
