Title: 404 Page For ncurses-common.tcz.dep Causing Segmentation Fault [RESOLVED]
Post by: mgibbsvt on June 15, 2011, 02:07:34 PM
In trying to install cfdisk.tcz as part of the frugal installation instructions I ran into an issue with the ncurses-common dependency. As tce-load looks for dependencies it tries to download the .dep file associated with each extension. It appears that although ncurses-common has no dependencies, the ncurses-common.tcz.dep URL returns a 404 page that tce-load tries to process as a dependency. This results in an intermediate ?xml.dep download and ultimately a segmentation fault for the cfdisk installation.

This is the full URL that returns the 404 page:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/ncurses-common.tcz.dep

I installed cfdisk yesterday on another test VM with no issues, so perhaps something has changed in the extension repository or with the way ibiblio returns 404 pages.

I am relatively new to Tiny Core Linux and so apologize in advance if I have overlooked something simple. I didn't find anything in the forum, documentation, or Google results about this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

I just saw that today with another extension. Why would ibibilio respond "200 OK" to a file that doesn't exist?

It looks like someone fixed the underlying issue as ibiblio returns a proper 404 now:

The cfdisk install also works again.

Thanks,
