Re: [MiKTeX] Problem with Miktex finding things

[Eero N. <eer...@in...>]

I installed MikTex 2.8 to colleagues windows machine two days ago. The
MikTex package manager was unable to find and install the 'lastpage'
package.

Same thing happened today on another windows test machine. Apparently
the server the package manager was trying returned 404. Logs below

It appears the package manager tried to download lastpage.cab, but it is
now lastpage.tar.lzma. Where should this be fixed?

Kind regards,
