Hi, XEmacs 21.2 "Artemis" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Tue Dec 29 1998 on apollonius.delta-ii.de just bugged out on me during a pui-list-packages (I had to SIGTERM it). The problem seems to be the wrong permissions of the index file: 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. -rw-rw-r-- 1 6101 6199 46327 Oct 16 06:47 package-index-1998-10-15-2.pgp -r--r--r-- 1 6101 6199 46353 Dec 1 02:06 package-index-1998-11-28.pgp -rw------- 1 6112 6199 46273 Dec 31 08:42 package-index-1998-12-31.pgp lrwxrwxrwx 1 6112 6199 28 Dec 31 08:42 package-index.LATEST.pgp -> package-index-1998-12-31.pgp This results in signal(error ("Package-get database file `/anonymous＠ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemac s/packages/package-index.LATEST.pgp' not readable")) Can someone please change the permissions? Thanks :-) Cheers, happy new year, norbert. -- Somebody should have told him that being a physicist, on a planet where the smartest animals hate being alive so much, means never having to say you're sorry.
