ftp but no apt
Hello
I have set up a partial mirror of debian on one of our
machines. This was orignially on the same subnet x.x.1.x as
all the laptops we use. Apt worked fine and we reduced d/l
time emensly.
Now we have moved the box to another subnet, x.x.3.x and now
apt no longer works. It stalls at the first attempt to
actually get a package list. It connects to the server
okay, but fails to fetch any package list.
I thought there must have been something denying ftp access,
but straight ftp works fine. Is there a difference in port
that apt uses against normal ftp?? I cant see this myself
as the mirror is just set up as an anonymous ftp server.
I guess that this must constitue a bug against apt, unless
anyone has any suggestions. I have tried this accross 3
different subnets and had exactly the same effect. Very
strange!!
Johnny.
