wget segfaults, as does Alt-F Package Manager web interface

GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments

Unfortunately, it looks like wget segfaults when trying to access the dropbox 
link that the packages are hosted on. This happens when using the web 
interface, and also when I ssh in to the dns-323 and call the command manually:

$ wget --passive-ftp    -q -P /tmp/ipkg-KbPWx2 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323/Alt-F/pkgs/unstable/Packages
Segmentation fault

Here is the output I get (in my browser) when trying to use the web interface 
to install packages with Alt-F:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Alt-F-0.1RC1, installed on a DNS-323. I formerly had ffp running 
(successfully). Alt-f is working in all other ways (and is a great project, by 
the way!).

Oh, actually my nameserver was misconfigured in /etc/resolv.conf
That was, among other things, causing nslookup to also segfault. 
Looks like everything is working now that I've fixed that.

I can't reproduce this in my current sources.

Can you please provide a misconfigured /etc/resolv.conf so I can try to 
reproduce the problem?

I'm under the impression that the misconfigured resolv.conf was left over from 
when I was running ffp, and hence not in anyway the fault of alt-f. So unless 
I'm wrong about that, I think you can mark the issue fixed/closed.

But for the record, the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf was set to my router, eg:

nameserver 192.168.1.1 

So I swapped in Googles nameservers:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

And everything worked fine after that.

The fact that wget and nslookup were segfaulting rather than returning a useful 
error message was less than optimal.

That was the problem I wanted to diagnose.

On my current sources, supplying a wrong nameserver makes the web page display 
a (cryptic) error message, so I'm closing this issue.

Thanks
