Hi All, I'm trying to install packages via dselect and FTP. First, let me say I can ftp to ftp.debain.org "maunally" just fine. When I use dselect, however, it falls over with:
Net::FTP: Unexpected EOF on command channel at /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/setup line 150 Line 150 is: if(!$ftp->login($::username, $pass)) { print $ftp->message()) . "\n"; die "error"; } In both cases I run through a proxy ftp server on my lan called proxysys. Here are the responses I provide the perl script: Enter ftp site [proxysys]: Use passive mode [n]: BTW, what is passive mode? Enter username [anonymous#ftp.debian.org]: proxy ftp server requires this format Enter password [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Enter debian directory [debian]: Enter space separated list of distributions to get [stable]: Enter directory to download binary package files to (relative to /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/) [debian]: ... then I get: Connecting to proxysys... Login as anonymous#ftp.debian.org... Net::FTP: Unexpected EOF on command channel at /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/setup line 150 FTP ERROR query/setup script was terminated by a signal: Broken pipe. Press RETURN to continue. Line 150 is: if(!$ftp->login($::username, $pass)) { print $ftp->message()) . "\n"; die "error"; } Any ideas would be appreciated.
