Description Michael J. Hammel 2011-04-23 15:26:06 UTC

rpm5.org appears to have gone away.  Launchpad has 1.15:
https://launchpad.net/popt/+milestone/1.15

and BLFS has 1.16:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/popt.html

The broken rpm5 URL affects the build from master if you use any package that depends on it: oprofile, logrotate, rpm, librsync

Here is a patch to use launchpad instead of rpm5.org.  I picked launchpad only because its Ubuntu oriented and that seems to have an active support community.

normally a missing / down upstream doesn't matter much, as buildroot then falls back to sources.buildroot.net, which DOES have popt-1.15.tar.gz. Isn't that working for you?

E.G.:

Ugh.  This is my own fault.  I've been using OpenDNS for some time and now their redirection to "search results" on failed lookups has bitten me.  I switched my DNS server to Google Public DNS and sure enough after the failure the backup download from Buildroot's archives worked.

FWIW, with OpenDNS the search results gets downloaded as a file and Buildroot attempts to unpack it.  Not sure you can do anything to mediate this response from a download attempt within Buildroot.

So this is a non-bug.  Apologies for not investigating better.

It would still be interesting to have a working upstream location. I've bumped it to 1.16 in git using the linuxfromscratch mirror.
