Hi I just installed Debian GNU/HURD and things went just fine. Then I set up dselect to use ftp (using the sunsite.auc.dk mirror, as I live in Denmark) and selected some packages for installation. The mirror works fine, and I can download from it without problems using ftp on the same hurd-system, but when I run Install in dselect, it just hangs after downloading each package, as if it doesn't find out, that the download is complete. After a certain time-out, or when I press ^C, it says "FTP ERROR", and then it asks: "Do you want to retry downloading at once [y]:". I say yes, and it asks me, if I want to continue at some position, wich turns out to be the total size of the file. Then it gets the remaining 0.00 bytes of the package and goes on to the next package. In this way I have to press ^C whenever I think it is through downloading a package and make it go on to the next package in this very bothersome way.
I use: dpkg 1.4.1.13 dpkg-ftp 1.6.7 <SAMPLE OUTPUT> Downloading files... use ^C to stop Connecting to sunsite.auc.dk... Login as anonymous... Setting transfer mode to binary...
