Re: 7.0_RC2 pkg_summary.gz not found

[ron georgia <rong1611%gmail.com@localhost>]

Update: on pkgin: Could not fetch ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.0_RC2/All/pkg_summary.gz

So my pkgin update stopped working again. I have a NetBSD 6.1.5 and a NetBSD 7.0_RC3 installed on two separate machines, neither can use pkgin. Again, if I did a wget and point to the pkg_summary.gz file it pulls the file, but pkgin update does not. So I figured out why and am posting this for future reference.

I have two routers in my home network in order to segment my work laptop from my home network. "By chance" I connected my NetBSD 7.0_RC3 machine to the "other" router and bam! pkgin worked. Hmmm... I connected it back to my main router and disabled IPV6 and now everyone is happy. The pkgin update and install works for both machines. So... having IPV6 enabled on my router was the culprit. Any thoughts?

Just an update. I noted that the RC_2 repo is up and running and my pkgin is now working. Not sure why but I am glad it is. Thanks your help.

Thanks. I am able to fetch from the ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.0_RC1/All/pkg_summary.gz and I am able to wget http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.0_RC1/All/pkg_summary.gz, yet pkgin update returns the same error code. I did try the http in repository.con, but that just hangs.

I did try other repos just to verify but get the same results.

pkgin: Could not fetch ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1.5/All/pkg_summary.gz

pkgin: Could not fetch ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.0_RC1/All//pkg_summary.gz

pkg_add works correctly.

So maybe the problem is on my side. Any suggestions on what to look for?

   7.0 should be fine, though. Maybe try http: instead of ftp:?
