[SOLVED] Is slackfinder.org down??

3rensho · 03-29-2022, 10:55 PM

Tried to update/upgrade this morning and just get messages about unable to make SSL connection. Tried to get to slackfinder.org and it seems to be down. Anyone else having problems?

I think you got the wrong url

Thank you ponce. Everything was fine with slackpkg yesterday on my side and this morning I can't update.

Code:

Updating the package lists...
        Downloading...
                Signatures
2022-03-30 07:28:02 URL: ftp://elektroni.phys.tut.fi/slackware64-current/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc [163] -> "/tmp/slackpkg.24PUi6/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc" [1]
2022-03-30 07:28:02 URL:https://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+15/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc [455/455] -> "/tmp/slackpkg.24PUi6/CHECKSUMS.md5-slackpkgplus.asc" [1]
Unable to establish SSL connection.
Unable to establish SSL connection.

If I try to point my browser to slackfinder.org it says the ip address could not be found. Same with ping. All other web sites are OK.

No 'c'!

I can browse (see the PGP) ok: (no 'Unable to est SSL conn')
https://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+15/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc

/s Or you could *buy* slackfinder.org for $1 & redirect it to slakfinder.org

And $1 2LQ.org & redirect it to /r

Oh, sh*t. Can't see the forrest for the trees. Still half asleep apparently. Thank you very much.

But why did (the correct in code) slak... report 'Unable to establish SSL connection.'?? Does it still? What fixed it?

That remains a mystery. Without changing anything in /etc/slackpkg it just started working again.

I know that wget has dns caching capabilities

There is a mirror of the slackbuilds.org repository here:
