Online package manager not working
big_M:
Hey. I want to install a package (BGRAControls), but the package manager fails to find the repo. "Host name resolution for "packages.lazarus-ide.org" failed. I can access the site without any problem however. Any idea? I think I had this problem already a while ago and never solved it.
Now I thought I could just put the zip files into the local repo folder, is that the way one should use that? In any case though the packages still don't show up.
Btw, I'm using the lazarus rpm's from sourceforge, so not the distro ones or anything

Most likely a firewall is blocking Lazarus. Can you please check it?
Not so long ago a guy from China reported that he was unable to connect to packages.lazarus-ide.org with OPM. The problem was solved after he changed the ISP, strange...
If you have a local http server, you can setup OPM to connect locally.
big_M:
Hm, I don't have a firewall running. I tried it now in Windows, there it just works, so it can't be ISP related. Maybe it's DNS related, I will check what I have set in my network config
big_M:
Ah, yes, that was it!
I had not defined any DNS server in my network configuration. Putting my router did it.
Thx for the help.
big_M:
I still need more help unfortunately. Downloading a package works now, but it cannot install it ("Cannot open package file"). I tried several packages, but they all fail. Is there any external program/package that I could be missing? Or is there a folder that could have the wrong permissions set? (on linux)
