Description Hendrik Maryns CLA 2008-09-25 09:42:58 EDT
Build ID: N/A

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Try installing/updating anything through p2

Resolving dependencies takes forever.

More information:
Eclipse spits out the following at the command line:

[Fatal Error] :82:182: Premature end of file.
[Fatal Error] :82:182: Premature end of file.
[Fatal Error] :334:75: Premature end of file.
[Fatal Error] :33298:5429: Premature end of file.

and so on, with different numbers.

need... more .... bandwidth...

Although I'm not sure why P2 is sending download.eclipse.org so much traffic -- most of the mirrors are up to date at this point.

I really do think this is a problem on the servers other than bandwidth, since the problem only seems to be the resolving of dependencies, where it does not get some file from the server.  Once it decides the dependencies are fine, the downloading of the files goes in a normal rate.  At least, I was able to install a Mylyn feature, once it got past the dependencies stage, it went fairly fast.  Or is Mylyn on another server?

Could it be related to this announcement?

I don’t know.  I wasn’t able to install the httpclient plugin, but OTOH the update on my home machine went fairly fast just a few minutes ago, although I still got the following error on stderr:

[Fatal Error] :188136:1: Content is not allowed in trailing section.
Comment 5 Hendrik Maryns CLA 2008-09-29 11:12:38 EDT
Problem seems to be gone now.

It seems also related to having a language pack installed: this thinks it depends on about every Eclipse project and thus has an infinite list of dependencies to check.  Uninstalling the language pack makes things smoother again.  Similarly, if you want to install a new plugin, often due to the language pack it complains about missing dependencies.  Work to do at babel.eclipse.

So is the problem the download servers, p2 or the Babel language packs?
Comment 7 Denis Roy CLA 2008-10-14 13:45:28 EDT
Lowering severity as per comment 5.
Comment 8 Denis Roy CLA 2008-11-20 16:39:42 EST
I'll close this as worksforme. Seems to be an isolated issue, or unrelated to the servers themselves.
