Bug 384173 – dev-perl/XML-SAX-0.16 sources no longer available

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Radermacher 2011-09-23 08:48:38 UTC]

Currently version 0.16 is the only stable version for the package XML-SAX, which is a dependency, for example, of current wine versions. This version, however, is no longer available for download at the source URL (http://www.planet-elektronik.de/CPAN/authors/id/G/GR/GRANTM/). Versions 0.96 and 0.99 are available, but both are marked as unstable. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge XML-SAX

Actual Results:  
Download fails


The version 0.16 should be removed, and a newer versions should be stabilized.

The files are available in Gentoo mirrors, such allowing succesful emerge despite upstream removing the files

The only bug is in your /etc/make.conf mirror settings

I'm acutally using the setting GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/"
in my /etc/make.conf, but still portage was unable to download the file.

Then use the correct mirror:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://de-mirror.org/gentoo/"

Thanks for the advice. The entry was originally created by mirrorselect, but it's possible that the address has changed since then. I will change my configuration accordingly. Sorry for the trouble.

Indeed, the directory was moved (bug #381541)
