[expert] MandrakeUpdate quits with "curl: (7) Connect failed"

[Rolf Pedersen]

Going after the latest cvs and libpng3 security updates for 9.0 and calling MandrakeUpdate from the root prompt to see the messages, the gui returns 'package list is void' and the console shows the above message, with no bits transferred, at sunet, which is available in Mozilla. I remove sunet and watch another security source add successfully but, when I try MandrakeUpdate, it fails at the same error. Leaving that source configured, I do:

# urpmi --update --auto-select
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed (2 MB):
cvs-1.11.4-2.2mdk.i586
libpng3-1.2.4-3.2mdk.i586
libpng3-devel-1.2.4-3.2mdk.i586
Is this OK? (Y/n)

I don't understand this but it looks like a problem with MandrakeUpdate, or curl, or both. Any ideas?
