At least until yesterday that was the very last entry in the list and stated to be the Primary CTAN site. However, when I start the update wizard now, sunsite.dk only shows up as a CTAN mirror, not as the primary site anymore. In the resolutions for the bugs concerning this issue you also wrote a workaround would be to use the primary site. Please tell me what the primary site is? The four servers which are labeled as CTAN Host all seem to have the out-of-sync repository that I am also still experiencing on sunsite.dk. I just tried to update the package in question from sunsite.dk, miktex-runtime-bin, but I still get a checksum error and cannot install it. Also, the way I understand it, this checksum error is one issue, and the tex.pool mismatch error is another issue, although somehow related due to the out-of-synch problem. Since the package wizard does not have any functionality that allows checking already installed or reinstalling packages, what is the recommended way to make sure that I have the right packages? I guess uninstalling the packages from the last two days and reinstalling them again from sunsite.dk should do the job? But then I still run into that checksum error. Please clarify and make sure that the page you are preparing for MiKTeX.org answers these questions. Thanks, Sascha |
