The file(s) failed to DL, how do I fix it?

[Nikolay]

I dunno, but check that you are doing it from chrooted environment, this kind of thing you get if you do it on a system which is running from CD. Or if you rebooted or something check the mounting of a drives, must be mount as a -rw not -ro

[thrustan]

Okay, fixed, thanks!

BTW, what are 'orphaned packages'?

[Nikolay]

how to explain...
here is the definition from dict.die.net
orphan n. [Unix] A process whose parent has died; one inherited by
`init(1)'. Compare zombie.
I think this explanation would the best.

People tried to help you. Why not post back what the problem and resolution turned out to be, so that other who search these forums to find answers can get an answer rather than having to post the same question yet again?
