 Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2004 7:07 pm Post subject: Funny emerge sync error |
 |
|
Hello everybody,
this is what I'm experiencing when using emerge sync:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# emerge sync
>>> starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
>>> checking server timestamp ...
rsync: failed to connect to 131.254.254.10: Connection refused
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(88)
>>> retry ...
|
I edited /etc/make.conf and changed the list of mirrors. Even when I comment out the variable or enter just one different entry, emerge sync always tries to contact this IP, which can be pinged by the way.
I set retries to 10 and all 10 tries fail.
I succesfully used the webrsync option to get a new Portage tree and I updated one package successfully with "emerge -u world".
Maybe someone can point me what is wrong with my rsync? Is it me or "the other side"?
thanks,
Tobias

Firewall and/or proxy in between you and the internet?

Yes, that's correct. But nothing has changed since my last succesful "emerge sync".
I have a forced ISP proxy for http connections and a transparent one running on my firewall machine.
When Portage gets a package to install it, doesn't it use rsync as well or is that wget running? Because installing a package works without any trouble.
In fact, I'm just running "emerge sync" now after a reboot with exactly the same /etc/make.conf and it works. Funny, isn't it?
It uses another server to mirror from though. When I last tried it wouldn't use anything else but this 131.x.x.x IP even after editing /etc/make.conf and running "env-update && source /etc/profile".
I guess the error has been on the other side, am I right?
cheers,
Tobias

ftp_proxy
RSYNC_PROXY
correct?

Yes.
I experienced the same problem yesterday and today on a random basis. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work and the only things that seems to help is a reboot and a little bit of luck.
Since I don't change a thing at my setup and the problem "emerges" (what irony) at random I simply do not know what can be the cause or how to fix it.
regards,
Tobias

| Sounds like a problem with your proxy to me. Normally, only http is used when installing packages, and only rsync for "emerge sync". I thought I remembered there being a way to update by downloading a tarball over http instead of updating through rsync, but I don't see it anywhere at the moment. |

It can't be a problem with my proxy or my proxy settings since the problem "emerges" at random. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am unable to reproduce or prevent this problem at will. It has to be something else.
Maybe the mirrors Portage tries to connect to with rsync are using a different rsync version and this explains the connection error?
| Code: |
rsync: failed to connect to 131.254.254.10: Connection refused
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(88)
|
What's that code 10 error anyway? And why do I have an error in socket IO?
This happens only with specific mirrors, I guess.
regards,
Tobias

I was thinking your rsync proxy was out of your control and maybe your ISP was messing with firewall rules or something. What is 131.254.254.10 in your network? I was assuming that was your rsync proxy, but is it something else?
That error message is exactly what I get if I set RSYNC_PROXY to 127.0.0.1:873 (except for the IP address), so a proxy problem seems like the most likely explanation. One way or another, rsync is trying to connect to that IP directly.
Maybe it's possible for rsync to use only tcp sometimes, and sometimes require udp? Otherwise, I don't see how this could be specific to certain rsync servers. |

131.254.254.10 is some machine in an university network in Europe. This is certainly not a machine in my ISP network or my home network. I guess it is the mirror portage wants to connect to.

Well, then I fail to see why it succeeds with other mirrors when I try again some time later without changing a thing. This random pattern has been going on for the last two days. No ISP should take that long to fix or change something. Besides, their website usually announces working periods but it didn't annouce anything lately.

I don't understand it either. It's not a critical error since I usually suceed after a few tries and some time in between and using the websync option is no problem either. But it is still a very funny problem.
Is there somebody else from Belgium, connected by Telenet, who experiences the same problems?
This is my GENTOO_MIRRORS in /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gentoo.skynet.be/pub/gentoo/ rsync://rsync.gentoo.skynet.be/gentoo/ http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ rsync://ftp.belnet.be/gentoo/ http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo rsync://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/gentoo ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo http://www.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/gentoo.org/ ftp://ftp.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/pub/gentoo.org/ rsync://rsync.fhh.opensource-mirror.de/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ rsync://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo/ http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo rsync://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo"

Maybe somebody can use this and return to this thread if he experiences the same problems.
cheers,
Tobias

with same error here.
This is new install but I do not understand what is going on. emerge sync worked when started installation. "emerge packagename" works OK.
Never saw this problem before and I am using Gentoo for almost a year now.
I am in the US.

Try again in several hours when the main tree is back online.

Thanks. Meantime I realised this could be the problem because tested an old (known good) Gentoo install on other machine and popped the same error. After that I saw the message on the Gentoo home page as well.

Thanks for the info. This always happens when I'm trying to install a new box and am kind of working in the dark. *sigh* O well...I guess I can finish it tomorrow.
