Nice to hear from you, Gio. The start of this thread, with some (monotonously
typical) terminal output while rpmdrake tries to add an ftp source is here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg32541.html
I have been visiting a lot of mirrors lately, including most, if not all, of the
following, starting with the most recent (object of [my first] tcpdump):
free.fr, wtfo, alert.dk, rpmfind, csociety, ciril.fr, carroll, du.se. I have
tried urpmi-1.5-26,27,28mdk [1.3-10mdk], wget-1.6-4,5mdk [1.5.3-12mdk], and
rpmdrake-1.3-28,36,39,41 [1.1-15mdk]. The bracketed versions I tried but was
turned back in some case by failed dependencies. The original packages
succeeded in adding one mirror which I immediately used to update rpmdrake and
urpmi, maybe wget. Reverting to those versions now makes no difference. Not
very scientific but the cat has eaten my lab book and, besides, this project is
threatening to challenge my idleness.
The machine is an Asus K7V with Via chipsets, Seagate hd originally with 8.0b1
installed on /, /home, and /usr formatted in reiserfs. I reformatted / to ext2
and reinstalled beta3 to be treated with my first succesful ftp addmedia,
concluding it was a Via/reiserfs issue, apparently, incorrectly. BTW, whenever
rpmdrake pauses while waiting for the list or, perhaps, a server response (for
as much as half an hour), I only know to use Xkill or rapid-fire Ctrl-c's if
called from a terminal to stop it. Even then, I must go into kpm to kill wget
and it's subordnate, urpmi. Wouldn't it be better/possible to have some sort of
internal recognition/resolution of such an event or a button within rpmdrake to
cleanly exit? I have created a bug report about all of this.
I am new to all this so be gentle/overly-instructive, please. I have not fooled
with any networking configuration other than adsl/internet. Following is the
tcpdump, which parallels two tries up to ==> LIST.... Do I detect a permission
problem with my id? I include all the characters for the sake of thoroughness
and possible interpretation by Chmouel :D. Thanks!
