I’ve been trying now for 2 days and it keeps failing after about 82 to 85% (it varies). I do not have a network problem (other systems on the same network are doing just fine). I’ve downloaded the complete bacula file set so I know it isn’t a file size problem, and I’m not out of disk space.
The error message indicates the server is not remaining available… Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Make sure the network plugs are all in completely and secure.
What are you using for the download?
Network cables and plugs are all secure - I’ve already demonstrated I can download much larger files than this 720KB depot.
I’m using YasT2 and the Package Manager in SuSE 11.4 that was just installed earlier this week.
BTW, I’ve also tried to download this depot from two other mirrors with the same results - is there a possibility this file has been corrupted on the depots?

Maybe but I doubt all the mirrors are broken. If so we would have loads of posts here about it

Post an exact, complete, link and I’ll try.

This is exactly the same problem that msg00150.html describes. I rebooted into safe-mode and was able to download and install mysql-devel using YasT2. I then rebooted back into normal mode and tried to download the gcc compiler - it failed on the 2nd fileset. I can download in safe-mode, but not in normal mode. Truth is stranger than fiction…

Would it be possible to narrow it down a bit? Safe mode just adds a few
parameters to the kernel boot line. It is possible that downloading the
problematic files would work if only a reduced set (ideally down to one) of
these parmeters were used.
From what little I have read, I would suggest booting with just the options
“nohz=off” and/or “highres=off”
to see if that makes a difference. (I would try myself, but so far I have
not had any download problems that weren’t self-inflicted!)

Someone having this problem has to report in Bugzilla, with a file that can
not be downloaded to try. Could you do it?
My wild guess would be that there is a sequence of bytes the kernel does
not like, but then everybody would be affected.
