The problem appears to be slow DNS servers for cern.ch: # wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=10 --connect-timeout=5 --read-timeout=300 --directory-prefix . -c ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz --2009-12-28 10:54:17-- ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz => `./ttf_fonts.tar.gz' Resolving root.cern.ch... failed: Connection timed out. wget: unable to resolve host address `root.cern.ch'
If I change the timeouts to 20 seconds: # wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=20 --connect-timeout=20 --read-timeout=300 --directory-prefix . -c ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz --2009-12-28 10:54:37-- ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz => `./ttf_fonts.tar.gz' Resolving root.cern.ch... 128.142.141.37 Connecting to root.cern.ch|128.142.141.37|:21... connected.

Length: 1612860 (1.5M) So the timeouts should be changed, and/or canonical should mirror this file. ** Changed in: root-system (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- package ttf-root-installer 5.18.00-2.3ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
