Description andrew.pickin 2000-04-10 08:10:29 UTC

I was using the Gnome RPM tool to download and install some
RPMs - specifically XV and XEPHEM.  This failed because the
FTP address it tried to get the packages from was wrong.  It
was trying to use:

ftp://ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/powertools/6.1/i386/

and the correct address should be:

ftp://ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/powertools/6.2/i386/i386/

I assume(?) that is is not actually a bug inthe Gnome RPM, but actually
is just an incorrect address that is downloaded from an out-of-date
database fromt he RedHat site.

It is indeed a database problem but seems long gone too.
