Failed to find the working server with updates

Discussions & Opinions

I get this error occasionally, I tried different servers with the same result.

cl-update -v

Repositories synchronization

  • Searching new binhost …
  • Failed to find the working server with updates
  • Fallback syncing the Distros repository …
  • Git git://github.com/calculatelinux/distros.git is unavailable
  • Failed to find the binary updates server
  • Update failed

Could this be because my system is already up to date and there are no new updates available?

BHReach, tell me please - what’s your version of Calculate server or desktop?
Executing the command:
sudo eix-sync && eix-update
didn’t help you?
Or try to synchronize each repository that is connected to your system:
sudo emaint sync -r gentoo
sudo emaint sync -r calculate
sudo emaint sync -r distros

Sincerely,

uname -por

This is only a temporary problem. If I wait a while the update usually works.

Next time it happens, I will try your suggestions.

Thank you.
