Don't panic (that's a maxim in this environment!)
First run a urpmi.update and make sure that it runs OK and all the files
come down. Sometimes if you run in the middle of an update to the mirror you
get out of sync, or you only get partial files.
If that's all OK try the urpmi again, and see what happens. I (and others)
have seen several issues, most notably in my case Bastille installs a
firewall that causes FTP issues under the covers. I've gotten by that, but
the newer 2.4.3 kernels seem to have issues as well - I'm trying to narrow
that down today.
You can run tcpdump and see the FTP's happen behind the scenes to see if
you're experiencing what I am - run
"tcpdump -s 0 -x -X -p port 21 or port 20 | tee trace.out"
In the resulting output you'll see a "connection reset by peer" message - at
least that's what I get. I'll update more when I know more, in the hope that
it'll help others.
Regards,
Gio
