Hello,
I'm trying to add the Trinity desktop to a Mageia 2 installation, but the urpmi.addmedia command will hang for a minute or so and then fail thus:
[root@jupiter ~]# |urpmi.addmedia trinity-main-noarch http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/mga2/trinity-...
adding medium "trinity-main-noarch"
...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 28
This has happened for all the repos listed on the Mageia install instructions page I've tried so far.
Looking at the package archives I've built for myself, the following files are missing from media_info:
changelog.xml.lzma files.xml.lzma info.xml.lzma
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Tim W
Further to my earlier message, I've now downloaded all of the RPMs using FTP from mirrorservice.org mirror site and re-built the contents of the media_info dirs using genhdlist2. The repositories can now be added successfully to the Magia package manager, so there definitely seems to be a problem with the meta-data in the packages on the main ftp site.

Hello, this is strange, I have no problem removing/re-adding the repository on my MGA2 computer. I confirm that each repository contains only 3 metadata files: hdlist.cz MD5SUM synthesis.hdlist.cz
So there is no need for other files.
According to man page, curl error 28 means: "Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached according to the conditions."
So I guess there is something wrong with the mirror or curl. You could try to use wget or aria2 instead.
