[opensuse] fetchmsttfonts failed on a new 11.1 install
Hmm this is odd... I just did a clean install of 11.1, and the fetchmsttfonts script failed on the first update. I re-ran it a couple of times, and it fails every time. An example of the output is: =============================== andale32.exe (http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe): Fetching ... done Extracting ... failed ... deleted! =============================== This repeats several times for each font type, with several different download servers. It scrolls through all the fonts that are supposed to be installed, and ends with: *** No Fonts installed. *** I've checked the destinations, and the font files are in the location the script is looking, and according to the script output, they are being downloaded... but the extract is failing. I've also checked that cabextract is installed. I've manually downloaded one of the font exe's, and used cabextract to extract the contents... and it works ok. Any ideas on this one?

I have seen this before, and I did exclude the servers with the faulty files from the script. The point is: when one of these servers has the fastest response, it will be used as the main source, and the other ones which carry fully functional fontfiles never get the chance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm I could try that... I didn't think to try it since the script seemed to go through all the servers.. ie there were several attempts across many servers for each file. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sourceforge changed their download locations. We have to fix the script. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, the script benchmarks the responsetime and chooses the one which is fastest. If this server has defective files, the installation fails in the way you did describe. So eliminate that one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
