After installing Julia 0.3.0-prelease on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine at work, I get the following error when trying to install Nettle:

INFO: Package database updatedI tried following this with Pkg.update() but Julia reported that no packges needed updating.
@vtjnash any ideas why this would be happening?
clear the WinRPM cache folder perhaps? LibExpat is complaining that it was given invalid XML
I tried removing everything from the WinRPM/cache folder (except .gitignore) and rebuilding Nettle. Still having problems:

Note that this is a machine at work, behind a firewall. Does that make any difference?
Is the proxy not returning the expected gzip file (check the cache)?
There are no gzipped files in WinRPM's cache directory. Any suggested workarounds?
Should I close this and open an issue on WinRPM?
Right, I forgot they get stored uncompressed. Is it XML descriptions or an HTML proxy error? (I hate proxies)
Sure, move to winrpm -- not a libnettle issue
Closing--moving to WinRPM
