fppkg list - HTTP download of mirrors.xml failed: moved permanently

[MisterD]

Hello,

I'm getting the following warning.

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. ~/pascal/p2c/p2c-2.02/src$ fppkg list
2. Warning: HTTP Download of "http://www.freepascal.org:80/repository/mirrors.xml" failed: Moved Permanently
3. Name                 Installed        Available

I found the following post from 5 years ago which could not resolve it at that time.


https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=44955.0

Does anyone know if it can be fixed now?

My version info is as follows.

1. ~$ lsb_release -d

Thank you.

probably relates to openSSL and your use of FPC304.

Most sites you connect to require thee standards in openssl3 as a minium, FPC304 and its associated apps were releeased before ssl3 existed.

Why are you using such a old compiler ?

In practice, you need to use FPC322 AND install the libssl3 dev libraries or use FPC-Fixes.

I don't think FPC304 will build FPC-Fixes, so perhaps its going to be 304->322->fixes I am afraid.  See -

• https://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_the_Free_Pascal_Compiler#Downloading_FPC_tar_balls
• https://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_the_Free_Pascal_Compiler#Downloading_FPC_sources_from_Git_or_zip

If you want fixes, sensible choice, you must build it from source, so, may as well build both from source. But if happy with fpc322, just download and install the Tar, very quick and easy.

EDIT - I strongly suggest you install your new FPC in user space, do not mess with the copies up in /usr/bin and /lib installed by apt.  And add a line in your .bashrc that adds a path to the new fpc bin directory. eg

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. FPCV='fpc-3.2.2'
2. export PATH="$HOME/bin/FPC/$FPCV/bin":"$PATH"

It will not be fixed, because it IS fixed: the protocol you are trying to use is insecure.
The minimum you can use is tls 1.1, but tls 1.2 or tls 1.3 are advised. All these still belong to the ssl family.

For the record MisterD, thaddy's answer is the same the one above it but perhaps mine is a little more useful.
