The +IN file has to be created with cpio -ocB (the "B" asking for blocked
output).  If not, the installation will fail with the error message.

To fix this particular problem, cpio -ic <file+IN as root in a clean directory,
then find . -print | cpio -ocB >filename+IN.  (You'd better be root because
sometimes user and group id and permission have to be copied.)
