Another dselect FTP problem

[Len Cumbow <cumbow@cardinal-software.com>]

Hi All,

The last message got away from me before I finished it... sorry....

I'm trying to install packages via dselect and FTP.  First, let me
say I can ftp to ftp.debain.org "maunally" just fine.  When I use
dselect, however, it falls over with:

   Net::FTP: Unexpected EOF on command channel at
/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/setup line 150
Line 150 is:
   if(!$ftp->login($::username, $pass)) { print $ftp->message()) . "\n";
die "error"; }


In both cases I run through a proxy ftp server on my lan called proxysys.
Here are the responses I provide the perl script:

Enter ftp site [proxysys]:
Use passive mode [n]:                           BTW, what is passive mode?
Enter username [anonymous#ftp.debian.org]:      proxy ftp server requires
this format
Enter password [cumbow@cardinal-software.com]:
Enter debian directory [debian]:
Enter space separated list of distributions to get 
[stable]:
Enter directory to download binary package files to
(relative to /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/)
[debian]:

... then I get:

   Connecting to proxysys...
   Login as anonymous#ftp.debian.org...
   Net::FTP: Unexpected EOF on command channel at
/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/setup line 150

   FTP ERROR 

   query/setup script was terminated by a signal: Broken pipe.
   Press RETURN to continue.


Line 150 is:
if(!$ftp->login($::username, $pass)) { print $ftp->message()) . "\n"; die
"error"; }


Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Len
