Tazpkg Woes

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with SliTaz stable. The computer has a clean install of SliTaz and a network connection through ethernet (I can browse the web) yet when I try to recharge the package lists either through the GUI or xterm it gives the a wget error. Is there a problem somewhere in my network? I've used SliTaz in the past and never had this issue.

Re: Tazpkg Woes

Can you ping mirror.slitaz.org ?

The mirror is working here :

tux@slitaz:~$ sudo tazpkg recharge

I can ping the mirror, access it via browser, and download files from it via browser. When I try to use tazpkg to access it though it gives me wget bad address. Others have suggested using nslookup mirror.slitaz.org to see the results but this also gives me an error.

Re: Tazpkg Woes

Try nslookup of mirror.slitaz.org using google dns :

tux@slitaz:~$ nslookup mirror.slitaz.org 8.8.8.8

Server:    8.8.8.8

Address 1: 8.8.8.8 google-public-dns-a.google.com

Name:      mirror.slitaz.org

Address 1: 94.23.60.116 ns302106.ovh.net

Re: Tazpkg Woes

I suggest closely checking the server address in /var/lib/tazpkg/mirror .

Since your connection and access to slitaz.org seem to work well this should be a tazpkg configuration problem. I suppose there'll be a typo somewhere...
