Not to years but yes the English Wikipedia dumps very
rarely work.
De.wikipedia is starting to suffer the same issues and image database
dumps don't happen.
No, I think it really has been two years (September 2006 to be
precise). I'm pretty sure there have been no complete dumps this
calendar year. I believe there was one (or two?) full dump process
that claimed to run to completion in 2007 but it was later found to
have been truncated (i.e. it didn't really dump all of enwiki, only a
portion of it).
If I am wrong and there really is a more recent complete history dump
of enwiki floating around somewhere, then I'd love to hear about it,
but I don't believe that is the case.
That sounds about right to me. I think the confusion may come from
there being lots of different dumps - the smaller dumps of enwiki do
succeed (occasionally, at least!), it's the full dump of every
revision of every page that fails routinely.
