catalog not working?

[Nate Griswold]

My raco pkg install is crashing and manual navigation to the package catalog looks broken

The catalog is functional. That path is simply not served. See also:

That path isn't served, but something like

  https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.6/catalog/pkg/racket-lib

or

  https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.6/catalog/pkgs

should work (and does work for me).

Though, considering that there are so many people who are misled that the catalog is down (my past self included), it might be better if that page displays some useful information rather than a 404.

Just FYI this was a local install/config issue

Although there was a stack trace i never investigated, it was in opening the http connection

The only file i had modified was system etc/config, to search libraries in my /opt/local on my mac
