Re: Slow 9.2 fou4s due to wget

I wrote the following mail 2004-11-19 16:09 but the reply went to my
own address and I didn't notice it hadn't gone to the list. Does anyone
else see the same problem? We have it here on all systems (same proxy).
SUSE is asking for the minimal set of options that makes the bug occur
but I don't have time for debugging at the moment.

The new wget RPMs are there and now download fast, but fou4s 0.12.5 on
SUSE 9.2 still has a 2 minute problem! http_proxy is set both in the
environment and in /etc/fou4s.conf.

Here some debug output (I put a set -vx before "Getting patch descriptions"
in /usr/sbin/fou4s):

I don't see the problem (except for the exactly two minutes for each
patch file download...)
