Hi, I've installed openpkg on a few servers up to now and for the first time, I decided to investigate why I'm unable to fetch RPM directly from the ftp url. After installing the base openpkg package as well as openpkg-tools, I've tried to do operation as:
/openpkg/bin/openpkg build -Ua | sh - or /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm --verbose --rebuild ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.3/UPD/openpkg-tools-0.8.37-2.3.1.src.rpm error: cannot open ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.3/UPD/openpkg-tools-0.8.37-2.3.1.src.rpm: I'm always getting this famous "cannot open ...". However, if I do a wget --passive-ftp <url> or curl <url>, everything is working fine which seems to eliminate any problem that could be related to firewall. I've tried to add verbose but without any success. What can be done to troubleshoot this system? I'm sure it is a simple thing to fix but without knowing what rpm is doing behind the scene, it is hard to figure that one. Does any of you able to remotely fetch package on Solaris 9 on sparc? Any help to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciate. Have a nice day. Etienne-Hugues
