Re: Goals

 

Have traced the gzip issue and found that we are trying to download the
unknown package.

Sources.list has this entry:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe

But in the actual location [http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/]
there is no *hoary* directory but our unwrapt is downloaded the
file: us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hoary_universe_binary-i386_Packages.gz
which is actually a corrupted one, so the gzip not able to extract it
contents and keryx arise with the gzip error.

Now i have commented the hoary lines in sources.list file and everything
works fine.

* Just wondering how the sources.list has the hoary entry. Can anyone
confirm me whether you have the hoary entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list
file ?
* The download function has to check whether the file exists in the location
before downloading. Let me check that and will push the new branch .

Thanks,
RSK
