Fetch frequently fails for me when installing ports via "pkg_add" or directly from the ports tree. Regardless of the port I'm trying to add, it almost always returns the following... Using 'pkg_add': --BEGIN SNIP-- root@SS002:~ 160:0# pkg_add -r xpdf Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/xpdf.tbz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/xpdf.tbz' by URL --END SNIP-- Using ports directly: --BEGIN SNIP-- root@SS002:/usr/ports/graphics/xpdf 163:0# make install clean ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found => xpdf-3.01.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/TeX/CTAN/support/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/TeX/CTAN/support/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive/support/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive/support/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/CTAN/support/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/CTAN/support/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/support/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/xpdf/xpdf-3.01.tar.gz: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from http://ring.sakura.ad.jp/archives/text/CTAN/support/xpdf/. xpdf-3.01.tar.gz 100% of 585 kB 140 kBps => xpdf-3.01pl1.patch doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/. fetch: ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.01pl1.patch: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/. fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/xpdf-3.01pl1.patch: Syntax error in parameters or arguments => Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this => port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xpdf. root@SS002:/usr/ports/graphics/xpdf 164:1# --END SNIP-- I think the key error in all of this is the part that says "Syntax error in parameters or arguments". This only seems to happen with FTP sites as opposed to HTTP sites. I can retrieve said files with wget without a hitch, so I'm at a loss as to what's going on. I've frobbed nearly every knob that fetch has to no avail. I'm running 6.1: FreeBSD SS002.admin.siloamsprings.com 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:42:56 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 It's a fresh install, I'll probably update soon. I had the same problem in 5.4. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide! cmh -- Christopher M.
