Re: portupgrade can't fetch packages

Hi all,

Earlier today I ran "portupgrade -aP" to update my system. Alas,
everytime it tried to download a package, it failed and resorted to
downloading and compiling the source. For example:

[...]
---> Checking for the latest package of 'lang/python25'
---> Fetching the package(s) for 'python25-2.5.2_1' (lang/python25)
---> Fetching python25-2.5.2_1
fetch:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/All/python25
-2.5.2_1.tbz: Can't open data connection

If this is a persistent rather then temporary problem, the only way I can see
that happening, is that you have FTP_PASSIVE_MODE set to 'no' in
pkgtools.conf.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
