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.
