We have a firewall in which for connecting to a machine outside we have to
connect first to this machine with the ftp program and from there it asks
for the username. At this point we then have to type
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Where I typed 0.1.1X it was wrong -- it was 0.0.1X. Apt worked on this
environment up to version 0.0.17-1 without problems, but as I have
upgraded to 0.1.2 it has stopped working. In fact, I have tried to verify
if the libnet-perl was correctly configured and it is so. For instance,
this perl script works pretty fine:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::FTP;
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("non-US.debian.org");
$ftp->login("anonymous","[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$ftp->cwd("/pub/debian/dists/stable/contrib/binary-i386");
$ftp->get("Packages.gz");
$ftp->quit;
But for the apt with the /etc/apt/sources.list saying:
deb ftp://non-US.debian.org/pub/debian stable main
the `apt-get update' command complains with
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp# apt-get update
Get ftp://non-US.debian.org stable/main Packages
Error ftp://non-US.debian.org stable/main Packages
ftp_connect: Could not connect
ERROR
ftp://non-US.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
ftp_connect: Could not connect
Thank you very much in advance,
Tomás.
