Problem downloading VirtualBox from "extra" repository

I cannot download VirtualBox from the "extra" repository. I'm using the Package Manager GUI to install VirtualBox and every time it gets to about 57MB it jumps back to 51MB, continues, then jumps back to 51MB. It does this a few times, then eventually stops complaining that there is a network problem. I was browsing the web using Firefox when this happened for the first time but I don't know if that is related. I have deleted /var/pkg/download, rebooted then tried again but it still does the same thing. Here is the error Package Manager produces:

Error:
Please check the network connection.
Is the repository accessible?

1: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 7274112 out of 24161996 bytes received
URL: 'https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra'.
2: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 7347648 out of 24161996 bytes received

3: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 7059968 out of 24161996 bytes received

I am trying to download this package:

pkg://extra/virtualbox@3.0.2,5.11-0.101:20090714T183200Z

I'm assuming this is a problem with my system rather than the repository, since I haven't seen anyone else complain about this problem. I'm using a clean install of build 118. How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks

Andrew.

Would like to help you but I've never installed VirtualBox from an IPS repository. I always just downloaded the Sys V packages and used the

pkgadd -d

command to install them.

Hi Andrew,

I'm getting the same, so I doubt it's your specific system that is the cause. I tried using Package Manager as well as command line.

This is what I'm getting:
~$ pfexec pkg install virtualbox
DOWNLOAD           & nbsp;            &nb sp;         PKGS       FILES    XFER (MB)
virtualbox            ;             & nbsp;        0/2     320/324    51.0/74.0


Errors were encountered while attempting to retrieve package or file data for
the requested operation.
Details follow:

1: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 7413184 out of 24161996 bytes received
URL: 'https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra'.
2: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 8044544 out of 24161996 bytes received
URL: 'https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra'.
3: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 8183616 out of 24161996 bytes received
URL: 'https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra'.
4: Framework error: code: 28 reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 8215040 out of 24161996 bytes received
URL: 'https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra'.
The error message would indicate a network problem, but other packages seem to work OK (e.g., SUNWjsnmp).

Kind regards,

Patrick.

OK, so the problem looks like it is with the repository itself. Unfortunately there is no contact email address or telephone number on the extra repository registration page so I've no idea who to contact about this problem. Hmmmmm. I'll cross-post to indiana-discuss in case someone there knows what to do. Cheers Andrew.

Basically downloading VirtualBox from the "extra" repository fails - it gets to about 57MB then jumps back to 51MB, continues to 57MB then jumps back. It does this a few times then fails complaining about a network error. A second person has posted to opensolaris-help to say they are having the same problem, so it looks like it could be a problem with the file in the repository itself. Cheers Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

A colleague of mine had similar problems installing Sun Studio 12, and tweaked the PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT value. This worked for him, and after doing the same, I could install Virtualbox as well:
# export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=300
# pkg install virtualbox
DOWNLOAD           & nbsp;            &nb sp;         PKGS       FILES    XFER (MB)
Completed                         &n bsp;         2/2     324/324    74.0/74.0

PHASE           &nbs p;                           &n bsp; ACTIONS
Install Phase            &n bsp;            &nbs p;      401/401
PHASE           &nbs p;                           &n bsp;   ITEMS
Reading Existing Index            &n bsp;            &nbs p; 8/8
Indexing Packages             ;             & nbsp;      2/2
I suggest you also give that a try :)

Kind regards,

Patrick.

I get the same problem trying to install Sun Studio update 12 on OpenSolaris snv_118.

I did: pfexec pkg install -v sunstudio12u1

It downloaded around 180+Mb when download failed. I retried to install it again, and it pretty fast repeated the download of that part (it was probably cached). But afterward it started to behave strange. When it reaches 186 Mb it falls back to 181 Mb (and the number of files jumps back to 6630 from 6631). And this pattern repeats itself many times until it fails. Here is the part of the output:
--------
pfexec pkg install -v sunstudio12u1

Is there any way to remedy this?
