Problems with ftp/update installed packages
Hi,
I apologize if this isn't the appropriate forum. I originally posted to
the xemacs(a)xemacs.org list, and it was suggested that I might also post
to the xemacs-beta list as well. I just installed Xemacs-21.1.11
(Carlsbad Caverns) on Red Hat 6.2. I also downloaded and untarred the
xemacs-sumo-2000-09-04.tar.gz into
the /usr/local/lib/xemacs/ directory. When I attempt
to "Update Installed Packages" (from any of the U.S. mirrors), I get the
following error messages:

I've also tried to update after untarring the files efs-1.19-pkg.tar.gz
and xemacs-base-1.43-pkg.tar.gz alone into
the /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/ directory. I've also tried
the efs-1.20-pkg.tar.gz. Same result.
If I try to open /ftp.xemacs.org:/ I get:

Apparently, I'm not the only person having this problem. A search of
the archives revealed a similar bug report below. Is there a fix for
this problem? Would you recommend I submit another bug report, since
the previous bug report was for the 21.1.9 release? Thanks for any
assistance you may wish to provide.

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I followed the website doc to update packages. Was able to assign an
ftp site, but upon trying to update installed packages I got this
error message:
