Answer 1

Recently I have got the same problem on Fedora. After researching on the Internet, it has been discussed somewhere (I will add the reference later if I can find it again) that these are normal. It appears that the installer is trying the open *.pack file when they are already gone because they are renamed to *.jar. For some reasons, they are not trying to fix this problem in any newer installer.
