[gentoo-user] Realplayer unsupported scheme?
I understand that there's a security update out for Realplayer. But when I try to emerge it, this happens... [m1800][root][~] emerge --ask realplayer These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild U ] media-video/realplayer-10.0.5 [10.0.4] Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] emerge (1 of 1) media-video/realplayer-10.0.5 to / Downloading https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1343/RealPlayer-10.0.5.756-20050513.i586.rpm https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1343/RealPlayer-10.0.5.756-20050513.i586.rpm: Unsupported scheme. !!! Couldn't download RealPlayer-10.0.5.756-20050513.i586.rpm. Aborting. I can understand Gentoo being unhappy with an RPMg. What to do about it? -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Make sure that you have emerged wget with ssl support using the ssl USE flag. Alternatively, download the file with your browser and place it in your distfiles directory (normally, /usr/portage/distfiles). Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I totally misinterpreted the error message. Not too long ago, I asked if -* at the front of my USE varible would hurt. Guess what I went and didg. wget gets ssl in package.use now and all is OK. If enough other packages need it, I'll explicitly put it into USE. I dream of one day having a very short USE variable, and all my packages having entries in package.use. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
