Since no one else is reporting similar issues, my latest hypothesis is that a deep-packet-inspection intrusion prevention device somewhere on my connection path is finding a false-positive hit in the binary and force-closing the connection. I've checked on our local IPS (Tippingpoint) and don't see any hits, but there might be others farther upstream. This is a very large organization.
So if my hypothesis is correct, a TLS connection to pacman would allow the updates to complete.
Why would you think that? If it is a large corporation, some of them have already been noted to have subordinated root-certs that would allow them to perform MITM inspection. I.e. TLS wouldn't stop inspection. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-security+owner@opensuse.org
