Hi,<br><br>I am trying to install some software and get the error:<br><<<br> L'installation a échoué, certains fichiers sont manquants :<br> rsync://<a href="http://ftp.tsukuba.wide.ad.jp/mageia/distrib/2/x86_64/media/tainted/release/mencoder-1.0-1.rc4.0.r34578.9.mga2.tainted.x86_64.rpm">ftp.tsukuba.wide.ad.jp/mageia/distrib/2/x86_64/media/tainted/release/mencoder-1.0-1.rc4.0.r34578.9.mga2.tainted.x86_64.rpm</a><br>
Vous devriez mettre à jour votre base de données urpmi.<br><br>Essayer de continuer néanmoins ?<br>>><br>(basically the rsync failed)<br><br>So I guess the repo is down, hopefully temporarily. I went to the "configure media sources" UI and "add a specific media mirror" (was using the $MIRRORLIST default until now).<br>
<br>[Side-note: the other mirror in Japan also had faulty tainted repos. I wonder if there is a problem with Japan politics maybe about tainted softwares?]<br><br>That's all good, but that's a bad user experience. Most users won't know how to search, and will just think it is broken.<br>
<br>So my real question is: couldn't the $MIRRORLIST fallback to other servers than the "closer" instead of failing?<br>I mean, that's one of the main point of having mirrors. It indeed allows to faster downloads if you take a close one, but it could/should also be used for falling back, hence providing "installation high availability".<br>
<br>Shouldn't that be the default behavior?<br>Thanks.<br><br>Jehan<br><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold"></span>
