Package install failures from multiple mirrors yesterday and today

Package install failures from multiple mirrors yesterday and today

[Teppo Maenpaa]

Hello, all,

I tried to do a fresh install of Cygwin into Win7 64 bit. Tried many (http) mirrors in yesterday and one today. Verdict was always:

=== error message starts ===
Download Incomplete

The following package(s) had download errors.

alternatives-1.3.30c-10
hostname-3.13-1
ipc-utils-1.0-2
which-2.20-2
libpaper-common-1.1.24-2
=== error message ends ===

Retrying download won't help. The order in which these are listed varies, but same ones appear repeatedly.

Could there be a corrupted list of packages being mirrored?

Regards,


Teppo Mäenpää

Unlikely as these packages are not changed by long time.
Have you tried to clear the download cache ?

Hello Marco,

Thanks for the quick response.

I nuked caches and retried. Same result. Then I looked at the setup.ini for urls, and noticed that the downloading of said files using wget/curl/etc all choke at some point. Always the same point. Changing to another network made the problem go away. Could a firewall in-between dislike these files?

In short, does not look like a cygwin problem after more digging. Sorry for the spam.

Regards,



Teppo
