CentOS 5.4 repositories

CentOS 5.4 repositories

[tony.chamberlain]

The pptp repository doesn't seem to work with 5.4.  yum list times out:

 
 http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/rhel5/i386/repodata /primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 4] Socket Error: (104, 'Connection reset by peer')
 Trying other mirror.
Same problem for other mirrors.

 rpming from it times out:
 rpm -ivh http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/rhel5/pptp-release- current.noarch.rpm
 Retrieving http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/rhel5/pptp-release- current.noarch.rpm
 error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.MLsFA7: headerRead failed: hdr blob(7575): BAD, read  returned 3568
 error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.MLsFA7 cannot be installed

wget gets a percentage, times out, gets some more, times out, etc.
Visiting with browser loads some and then times out

from non-5.4 machines things seem to go smoothly, of course I don't install
from there because it is the wrong version.

I talked to the people at Sourceforge for a while.  They did some tests and
then said everything there was OK, so it might be something with the pptp
part  (e.g., pptpclient). I did try various IP connections and MTU sizes
set., none of which worked.

Any known problems with the pptp site and CentOS 5.4?  Could it be a 5.4
error? Stuff from other repositories seems to yum install OK.  Here is my repo:

I suspect that this is due to ICMP filtering somewhere between your system 
and the sourceforge website:

But did you do from a 5.4 machine?

Re: CentOS 5.4 repositories

[tony.chamberlain]

Yes but I don't believe we block 3 and 4 ICMP packets or the problem would
manifest itself elsewhere too.  Maybe the 5.4 is doing it somehow?
I do not believe our router is.

I even made sure that /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc was 0
(which it was).  Tried it as 1 anyway and still same problem.

That's unlikely to be relevant. The problem is likely to be on the PMTU 
from poptop.sourceforge.net to your host, not the other way around.

Perhaps you should talk to admins at SF.
