  • YDL Linux update fails with FTP Error: 550 Cannot get file size. What's wrong?

    I'm running Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 on an old Powermac 8500. I would like to update the software using the "yup update" command in the terminal. It polls the RPM database, runs the dependency sanity check, the server signals ready -- but then it fails with the message "Error: 550 Cannot get file size." This is making me crazy. Anyone have any ideas?
