Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important hi
here is the transcript of my session: ~# ftp ftp.debian.org Connected to ftp.debian.org. 220 saens.debian.org FTP server (vsftpd) Name (ftp.debian.org:root): ftp 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230- 230-This site is just another one in a worldwide array of Debian mirrors. 230-It is not the "primary Debian FTP site" -- it is merely an official 230-mirror that is in the United States of America. 230- 230-If you are connecting from outside the USA, please consider using another 230-official Debian mirror, one that is closer to you. This will likely help 230-you by speeding up your downloads, and it will help us by lessening the 230-load on this machine. 230- 230-Current list of Debian mirrors is at http://www.debian.org/mirror/list 230- 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> passive Passive mode on. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (128,101,240,212,234,58) 150 Here comes the directory listing. then nothing ever arrives. Same with lftp. I can cd into subdirs, but still I cannot 'ls' them. And I cannot retrieve data with standard ftp protocols: $ lftp ftp.debian.org lftp ftp.debian.org:~> cd /debian cd ok, cwd=/debian lftp ftp.debian.org:/debian> ls Interruzione lftp ftp.debian.org:/debian> get README.pgp `README.pgp' at 0 [In attesa della risposta...] Nothing ever arrives. This is annoying : I was looking for the latest experimental packages of gstreamer, to see if they fix bug 357233 ; but unfortunately the web page http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libs/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base has broken download links ; while the listing of http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-base0.10/ is not really useful, since Apache abbreviates the names. In the end I downloaded the listing http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libs/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base and I scanned its HTML for all links; but this is inconvenient. a. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- Andrea Mennucc "The EULA sounds like it was written by a team of lawyers who want to tell me what I can't do, and the GPL sounds like it was written by a human being who wants me to know what I can do."
