Howdy Ho, I reckon this is a situation that you hadn't thought of. What if you have a repository, that is temporarily empty, or empty for one reason or another. It seems like if you have an empty header.info file, things seem to fail 'unnicely' You get a IOError: [Errno ftp error] 550 Failed to change directory. URL: ftp://yort.fnal.gov/linux/73rolling/i386/Fermi/workgroups/Farms/RPMS/headers/header.info which is the same error that you get when there isn't a repository at all. Granted, an empty repository is almost the same as no repository, but not quite. Would it be possible, if there is an empty header.info file for it to say -d 2 No Packages Found In Repository -d 1 <nothing> -d 0 <nothing> Thanks Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson dawson@xxxxxxxx (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/OSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
