Christopher, I mentioned the redirect only because you said something about "shouldn't be using SSL anyway".
My testing script always disables the cert check because it has been needed often enough to become my preferred default. phargrov@sparc64:~$ sudo apt-get update [...] W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/wheezy/updates/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-sparc/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. phargrov@sparc64:~$ apt-cache policy wget wget: Installed: 1.13.4-3+deb7u2 Candidate: 1.13.4-3+deb7u2 Version table: *** 1.13.4-3+deb7u2 0 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main sparc Packages 500 http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates/main sparc Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I'll looked into that warning and error from "apt-get update" and found that the sparc files that were supposed to move from security.debian.org to archive.debian.org never made it. So, the sparc platform is a bit more orphaned that it already was when support stopped at Wheezy. -Paul On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 7:16 PM, Christopher Samuel <sam...@unimelb.edu.au> wrote: > On 31/08/16 12:05, Paul Hargrove wrote: > > > As Giles mentions the http: redirects to https: before anything is > fetched. > > Replacing "-nv" in the wget command with "-v" shows that redirect > clearly. > > Agreed, but it still just works on Debian Wheezy for me. :-) > > What does "apt-cache policy wget" say for you? > > root@db3:/tmp# apt-cache policy wget > wget: > Installed: 1.13.4-3+deb7u3 > Candidate: 1.13.4-3+deb7u3 > [...] > > Here's the plain wget, with redirect, don't even need to disable the > certificate check here on Debian Wheezy (though it still works if you do). > > root@db3:/tmp# wget http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v2.0/downloads/ > openmpi-2.0.1rc2.tar.bz2 > --2016-08-31 12:11:59-- http://www.open-mpi.org/ > software/ompi/v2.0/downloads/openmpi-2.0.1rc2.tar.bz2 > Resolving www.open-mpi.org (www.open-mpi.org)... 192.185.39.252 > Connecting to www.open-mpi.org (www.open-mpi.org)|192.185.39.252|:80... > connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 302 Found > Location: https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v2.0/downloads/ > openmpi-2.0.1rc2.tar.bz2 [following] > --2016-08-31 12:11:59-- https://www.open-mpi.org/ > software/ompi/v2.0/downloads/openmpi-2.0.1rc2.tar.bz2 > Connecting to www.open-mpi.org (www.open-mpi.org)|192.185.39.252|:443... > connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK > Length: 8192091 (7.8M) [application/x-tar] > Saving to: `openmpi-2.0.1rc2.tar.bz2' > > 100%[======================================================= > =================================>] 8,192,091 1.75M/s in 7.3s > > 2016-08-31 12:12:08 (1.07 MB/s) - `openmpi-2.0.1rc2.tar.bz2' saved > [8192091/8192091] > > > All the best, > Chris > -- > Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator > VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative > Email: sam...@unimelb.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 > http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list > devel@lists.open-mpi.org > https://rfd.newmexicoconsortium.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > -- Paul H.
