Hello, Using FTP method of apt gives me again and again this error. Usually when it happens (appx. 3 out of 10) it stops always at the same file. If I retrieve the file by hand and installit by dpkg the install can continue.
Inserting some debugging point into Cmd.pm shows that there is a RETR command, probably failing and closing the filehandle because some reason beyond me, and teh next QUIT command goes into the closed filehandle, failing. But the program continues, trying to issue MDTM on the package, probably using the very same closed filehandle, and catches an infinite wait. Stopping it only possible by ctrl-c AND kill -9 the background ftp session. > 19% [xntp3-doc `Re trying to get > /pub/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/netSyswrite on closed > filehandle at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/Cmd.pm line 169 (#1) > > (W) The filehandle you're writing to got itself closed sometime > before now. > Check your logic flow. > > Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/Cmd.pm line 210 (#2) > > (W) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined.

If anyone needs some debugging, tell me what do check. :) I ain't a pro at perl debugging deeper than inserting prints at key points and watch 'em. bye, grin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
