another strange powerpill error - problem with new aria2? [SOLVED]

graysky · 2009-10-12 19:51:42

Looks like I'm getting another odd powerpill error. Is this a function of the new aria2 package that got deployed a day or two ago?

If you're going to use powerpill you should probably subscribe to the following thread:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56583

Your answer is on the very last page, but in summary the problem is that the --retry-wait option is no longer supported in aria2 which you can see in the code you pasted.

/usr/bin/aria2c: unrecognized option '--retry-wait=2'

Xyne has already updated the code so you can either get the code from his site or wait for the mirrors to sync.

Cool man, thanks very much for that thread.
