Is were some reason for using 0.8.0 version which is somewhere between hell and purgatory? Squeeze released with 0.8.10.3 for example… > Current versions of apt frequently fail to obtain updates from official Debian > ftp archives: I have a ftp archive in my sources.list which never failed - but its just there as a small test. I guess ftp isn't used too much nowadays especially as the http is a multitude better - and easier to provide. Furthermore the ftp method hasn't seen big changes for years (~2006) (its more or less only updated to cope with newer gcc versions or other small scale changes) so i can't reproduce your problem. A quick skip over the code suggests that you could disable the use of passive mode with Acquire::FTP::Passive, but try to force the extended passive mode also which is used (or should) be used for IPv6 with Acquire::FTP::ForceExtended in contrast to the 'simple' PASV as IPv4… Best regards David Kalnischkies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
