[Mageia-dev] bug in urpmi-proxy

Sun Jun 17 13:18:57 CEST 2012

hi,
+
+since nowhere is specified where to report bug for urpmi-proxy, i'll
+send a mail to the list.
+
+i always get 404 errors when trying to fetch a file. my tests are
+performed with the following command:
+
+    $ wget -O- http://127.0.0.1/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/media_info/MD5SUM 
+    --2012-06-17 13:18:00-- http://127.0.0.1/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/media_info/MD5SUM
+    Connexion vers 127.0.0.1:80...connecté.
+    requête HTTP transmise, en attente de la réponse...404 Not Found
+    2012-06-17 13:18:00 ERREUR 404: Not Found.
+
+
+here is my config file, trimmed to show only active lines:
+
+    # perl -nE 'print unless /^($|#)/' /etc/urpmi-proxy.conf
+    $sources = [
+            'http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia',
+    ];
+    $debug = 1;
+
+
+first, setting $debug = 1 doesn't make urpmi-proxy debug logs to go in
+/var/log/httpd/error_log. it would be wise to have all debug go
+somewhere else, either in messages or even in a private urpmi-proxy log
+file.
+
+so, i've used some printing to tmp file to get some more information.
+and i found that at line 310, urpmi-proxy is using $source . $file as
+the url of the file to fetch with curl. however, printing this source
+shows the following url:
+
+    http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/media_info/MD5SUM
+
+==> definitely a problem, hence a 404.
+
+regards,
+jérôme
