Hi

I'm trying to install MythTV as per the docs on the website but I have
run into a problem when installing XML::Twig. I've included the output
below. I know absolutely nothing about CPAN but it looks like it is
looking for a file on the ftp server that doesn't exist. Is this a
problem with the way I've set up CPAN or with the entry in the CPAN
database?
