"Connection reset by peer" when using CPAN do download Catalyst

Nov 8, 2016, 7:13 AM

Post #1 of 3 (2819 views)

Hi,

I know this isn't strictly a Catalyst question, but it's preventing me
downloading Catalyst (or anything else) from CPAN onto my VirtualBox VMs.

I posted a bug report for the CPAN module 12 days ago but nothing has
happened.

I work a lot with Ubuntu VMs on a Windows host. Everything worked fine
until a month or so ago.

I've got Windows 7 at work and Windows 10 at home. The problem occurs with
any combination of Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 or 16.04 on Windows 7 or Windows 10.

The problem doesn't occur with 14.04 on an Ubuntu 16.04 laptop as a host. A
Rackspace Ubuntu 16.04 server seems OK.

I've tried several different CPAN mirrors.

I can download and install CPAN modules manually (by clicking the
"Download" link on the web page.)

The problem is that 90% of the time, I get this sort of thing:

Running make install
Delayed until after prerequisites
Running install for module 'Starman'
Running make for M/MI/MIYAGAWA/Starman-0.4014.tar.gz
Fetching with LWP:
http://www.pirbot.com/mirrors/cpan/authors/id/M/MI/MIYAGAWA/Starman-0.4014.tar.gz
Catching error: "read failed: Connection reset by peer at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 465. at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/LWP/UserAgent.pm line 916.\cJ" at
/usr/share/perl/5.18/CPAN.pm line 392.
CPAN::shell() called at /usr/share/perl/5.18/App/Cpan.pm line 338
App::Cpan::_process_options('App::Cpan') called at
/usr/share/perl/5.18/App/Cpan.pm line 421
App::Cpan::run('App::Cpan') called at /usr/bin/cpan line 12

That's the output from installing Module::Install::Catalyst. The place at
which is stops varies, it isn't always Starman. However, it's very rare for
the whole install to complete successfully.

The problem occurs with CPANplus and cpanm as well.

Does anybody have any ideas what's going on? Or how to troubleshoot why the
server is closing the connection?

All the best.

I'm not a CPAN maintainer, but IMHO the error code points to some
network error (probably intermittent) on your VirtualBox on Windows,
since you mention that on an Ubuntu host the error does not occur.

This links may be related...?

not relevant.

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I googled the most obvious things long before contacting the mailing lists.
Those posts are over two years old.

It may be a network issue, but it's occuring on multiple networks and the
only things effected are CPAN and it's kin. CPAN has 220 open issues, so
it's not perfect.

All the best.

Duncan
