It would be a lot easier to help you if you had shown the URL that returned this error. I'll switch on my crystal ball, but it is not always reliable. > ### execution of curl failed, exit code 22 > Downloading the file "imake-1.0.2.tar.bz2" failed. This source file, which comes from the xmkmf package, has sourceforge as its original location. The mirror that didn't work must therefore be one of the master mirrors. Indeed, none of the master mirrors is carrying this source file. This is strange, the file should have been there since 3 weeks. Some bug, no doubt, but hard to guess what kind of bug it could be. > (1) Give up > (2) Retry the same mirror > (3) Retry another mirror from your continent > (4) Retry another mirror > (5) Retry using next mirror set "sourceforge" > > I tried all the options but it didn't work.
