bug#382: Message with no Package: tag cannot be processed! (Problem ac cessing Internet via web, lynx, ftp...w/ LNX-BBC 2.1)

Nick,

Thanks for the reply.  I will check out the link to attempt to determine
what it is that my email did not include.  As to what package, I listed at
least three that I am unable to use and a reference to an existing bug
report (on the lnx-bbc bug list...although it had an aging of 33 days).  In
thinking further on this bug, I have not had any other Linux install/distro
exhibit this problem except for LNX-BBC 2.x and I have evaluated at least a
dozen for usage within our enterprise.  So its pretty strange behavior.

Regards,

Uriel

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
pseudo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report. Please _resubmit_ your report and tell us which package
the report is on. For help, check out

and subject Problem accessing Internet via web, lynx, ftp...w/ LNX-BBC 2.1.

Hello,

Can ping any internet IP or URL.  I can even ssh to that same IP; however, I
cannot FTP, use LYNX or BROWSEX.  Message comes back is that connection is
closed.  This was not a problem with version 1.618 or other similar CD based
Linux distros (knoppix, linuxcare bootable, F.I.R.E., etc.)

My configuration:  Compaq M300 laptop with Intel (R) PRO/100+ MiniPCI
network card (built-in).  I am behind a firewall with NAT in place.

Any help would be appreciated.  In looking at some previous bug reports, I
noticed a #382 that is similar to my situation.

Thanks.
