It just got damaged in the machines. You may be able to file a claim.

Sue them. Always works.

I suspect that an accident happened with one of the automated mail processing machines that ripped open the package and the contents were lost inside the machine or in shipping between destinations. As soon as a worker notices the package was opened or jammed in a machine, they would have taken it aside, taped it up, and stamped it like you received it. These folks are very serious about their mail security, but sometimes accidents happen.

Umm... some of them do - there are probably 7 or 8 different OS's running around on various systems - including some RedHat - not sure about any other Linux's
