STSADM strikes again, Failed to extract the cab file in the solution...

Having more fun with STSADM ... I tried doing:

STSADM -o addsolution -filename XmlWebParts.wsp

and I received back this message:

Failed to extract the cab file in the solution.

When I looked ... I had accidentally duplicated a line in the DDF file so a file was being included in the cab file twice with the same name -- apparently SharePoint doesn't like that.

Unmatched quotes will also cause this. For example in your ddf file, if you have: "SourceFile" "Destfile" but you drop the quote before Destfile, that will do it too.
