dev-libs/atk-1.2.2 cannot be downloaded. It is at none of the mirrors I have tried, and the last-resort ftp.gnome.org does not respond. I have also tried to locate atk-1.2.2.tar.bz manually with no success. This library is needed for gnome 2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge rsync 2. emerge atk 3. watch mirror list used, then ftp.gnome.org not respond Actual Results: Download of atk-1.2.2 source failed. Expected Results: Downloaded the atk-1.2.2 source Portage 2.0.46-r2 (default-1.0, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5-r2,2.2.5-r6) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.19-ipv6-imzzo-coda i686 AuthenticAMD USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups jpeg libg++ mikmod mpeg ncurses qtmt quicktim e spell xml2 xv berkdb bonobo esd gdbm gif gnome-libs gpm gtkhtml guile imlib java ldap libwww motif mozilla nls opengl pam png python qt readline scanner sdl slang ssl svga tcpd tetex tiff X gtk gtk2 gnome -alsa -arts 3dnow cdr en code kde mmx oggvorbis pdflib perl sse truetype xmms ipv6" ARCH="x86" COMPILER="" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/sh are/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" MAKEOPTS="-j3" JDK_HOME="/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1" JAVA_HOME="/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo ftp://gentoo.linux.no/pub/gentoo ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/gentoo http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"
is this still the case, its is .tar.bz2 btw (?) The file really is there.
I just tried now, and it went through all my mirrors and ended up at ftp.gnome.org which has never responded for me even once. It is trying to fetch a tar.bz2, as well.
Eek. the "bz" in the filename in the initial post was in fact a typeo by me. Appologies, It was trying to fetch a .bz2 all along.
works for me. ftp.gnome.org responds for me. try looking in /usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirrors and try seeing if any of the ftp servers on the gnome line respond.

Okay, i did a GENTOO_MIRRORS="those FTPs from that line" emerge atk and atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2 was not found on any of them. Am I going about this wrong? Thanks for your patience.
no thats not correct, those are not gentoo mirrors. Just check those gnome ftps in thirrdpartymirrors by hand and see if atk-1.2.2 is downloadable.
Okay the first one was: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome I was able to use ncftp to log onto that fine. I was then able to cd to the dir where atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2 resides, and download it. I then tried using ncftpget to fetch the same url that emerge tries at the very end, which is: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/atk/1.2/atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2 And that worked. However, when I try the same with wget: wget ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/atk/1.2/atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2 --13:09:36-- ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/atk/1.2/atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2 => `atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2' Resolving ftp.gnome.org... done. Connecting to ftp.gnome.org[130.239.18.141]:21... connected. Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> SYST ... done. ==> PWD ... done. ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD /pub/gnome/sources/atk/1.2 ... done. ==> PORT ... done. ==> RETR atk-1.2.2.tar.bz2 ... done. And it never makes it past that. So I can download it manually, but for some reason I can't fetch it via wget. With ncftp and ncftpget, ftp.gnome.rog responds very quickly and is very responsive, with wget it logs on and gets up to RETR and stops.
In the process of emerging gnome, which is what got me started down the path of atk, etc, I found another very similar situation. ggv isn't found on any of the mirrors, so once again it ends up at ftp.gnome.org, and fails to download via wget. But, I was able to fetch it with ncftpget. I'm curious to know if you can fetch this via wget or ncftpget, or some other tool of your choice: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/ggv/1.99/ggv-1.99.98.tar.bz2
you should try 'wget --passive-ftp' like portage does, it works fine for me.
Interesting. wget --passive-ftp indeed does work. Now the only difference is when I run it through my squid proxy or not. All the other fetches work that way through the proxy, just not ftp.gnome.org. Any ideas? Thanks for sticking with me through this long series.
unless you've changed your default fetch command in /etc/make.conf, it should use wget --passive-ftp. This helps you connect to FTP servers through either proxies or firewalls. You may not have encountered any problems till now possibly because all your fetches were from HTTP mirrors.
well i guess its a local problem after all, nothing we at least can do much about. closing
