Description andré blais 2015-10-03 15:38:06 CEST
Attempting to download/install packages with drakrpm, urpmi, or mgaupdate fails when wget is the selected download agent (i.e., selected explicitly or in urpmi.cfg)

The error message is similar to that displayed for aria2 in mga bug 16882

This happens every time.

Downloading via browser from the same mirror (as indicated by urpmi) works normally.
Specifying curl instead of wget also works normally.
Note that aria2 has the same error, reported in mga bug 16882.
Comment 1 Rémi Verschelde 2015-10-03 16:11:06 CEST
I can't reproduce on x86_64 with:
# urpmi --test null --downloader wget
Comment 2 andré blais 2015-10-12 07:06:59 CEST
Thanks to suggestion in mga bug16882 (for aria2),
tried manual download with wget and it works directly :

[andr@localhost ~]$ wget ftp://mageia.webconquest.com/distrib/5/i586/media/core/updates/libpolkit-gir1.0-0.113-1.1.mga5.i586.rpm

Comment 3 Pierre Jarillon 2015-11-26 17:06:34 CET
Wget doesn't work with wget 1.15 (Mageia 5 x86_64) Tested on 3 machines.
But the same command works with wget 1.12 (Mageia 1)

The message is "Unable to establish SSL connection".


I have found on  http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?46537 that the bug is still opened (release 1.17) and an explanation is given. A bad compilation is the cause.

There was no action in this bug report since over a year ago, I assume the issue was solved?
