Package Update Error [0.1RC6]

[Rodrigo Aluizio]

Not sure why, but I got this error when trying to update my package list:

Downloading https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/stable/Packages
Downloading https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/unstable/Packages
An error ocurred, return value: 2.

ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 5: `wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /tmp/ipkg-WZwfcr https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/unstable/Packages'

I can download Packages file using a browser...

Must be a transitory sourceforge network problem try again latter.

It seems the path has been changed?!

After several days, the problem remains. But its not an Alt-F issues. I just found out that the mirror SourceForge redirects me has expired certificates. That is generating the issue. And I have no idea how to bypass this, so no updates for me till they work it out.

You can try specifying the mirror you want directly.

At  https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mirrors/ you will see the list of mirrors, and one of the columns is its short-name. Select one, near your location (check the last column) and use it in the Alt-F package manager webUI, then Submit. E.g.,

replace https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/stable with https://10gbps-io.dl.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/stable/ for using the 10gpbs-io mirror,

or with https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/stable/ for the netcologne mirror.

Do the same in the unstable entry.

If you want to verify it first from the command line, use

wget https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/stable/Packages # notice the aditional 'Packages' at the end -- that should not be entered in the webUI

or

wget https://10gbps-io.dl.sourceforge.net/project/alt-f/pkgs/stable/Packages

I don't know if the mirror list is updated frequently; the advantage of using the defaults is that it uses what is available at the time.

Working like a charm, thanks once more.
