[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Several packages that were downloaded from mirror.ibcp.fr or ftp.ciril.fr
are no longer available on these servers. These packages include at least:

* CGI 4.35
* Test-Deep 120

Newer versions of these packages are available on these servers, however.
Version 120 of Test Deep, and the newer versions are available from GitHub,
however https://github.com/rjbs/Test-Deep/releases. Version 4.35 of CGI is
also available on GitHub -- https://github.com/leejo/CGI.pm/releases.

Fortunately, they are eventually found on other mirrors:

Are you observing different behavior?

We will update them eventually, but the problem you report shouldn’t be
an issue thanks to the mirrors that we have.

Thanks for your report,
Ludo’.

Subject: Bug #29060 Hunting: CPAN mirror packages no longer available
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 07:13:04 +0100

Dear,

THank you for reporting the bug.

This bug [1] reports an issue about unavailable mirror for CPAN
packages. Are you still observing a different behavior than the
expected one?

The versions is still 120 for 'perl-test-deep' and 4.44 for
'perl-cgi'; still both coming from 'mirror://cpan/'. Do you think it
should be an issue?


If no objection, I would like to close this bug since other mirrors serve them.

Thank you in advance.

All the best,
simon

Other mirrors serve CGI, Test-Deep (see below and Ludo's message [1])
so I close this bug.
