I have a problem using the ftp upgrade method for 1.2 to 1.3. I have manually retrieved the new software refered to in the ftp information. I use the default options. I can connect manually to ftp.debian.org, but when dselect tried to do it I get:
Using FTP to check directories...(stop with ^C) Connecting to ftp.debian.org... Login as anonymous... Where things hang indefinately. A possibly related problem I have is with ftp in general: it doesn't work with some sites. With sunsite.unc.edu, for example, I get $ ftp sunsite.unc.edu Connected to sunsite.unc.edu. 220- Welcome to the SunSITE USA ftp archives! where it then hangs indefinately every time. I have tried -p but it doesn't help. It doesn't do this with all sites. I suspect the '-' character may be involved one way or another, but that is a complete guess really and I still don't know how to fix the problem. I have to kill ftp with ^\. Lynx also hangs on startup (^C will kill this one), so mayby this is a more general type of problem. If anyone has a guess as to what is going on, what to look for, or what packages I should try re-installing to make things work I would greatly appreciate it. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
