Where did you get the installer you are running? I'm not certain, but my understanding is that the concept of a general kdewin installer was abandoned in favor of a specific instller for each package. It looks like the stuff under download.kde.org/stable/kdewin is outdated and not maintained. (Should it be completely removed to avoid this type of confusion?) The kdewin installer is gone, and has been for years. All maintained applications have separate installation packages usually downloadable from their websites. If you wish to continue using the deprecated and older 'kdewin' installer, you need to download the updated version from https://download.kde.org/stable/kdewin/installer/ This updated version was provided purely to restore compatibility, as the original version lacked HTTPS support, which is now mandatory to connect to KDE servers. In general however, you should upgrade to using the dedicated installers for the applications you use. If they are not available you should ask the developers of those applications, through separate bugs, to please undertake packaging of their application for Windows. A list of those applications for which packages are already generated can be found at https://binary-factory.kde.org/ |
Created attachment 109624 [details] log file Hi, I would like to install some spell checking packages with the KDE installer. As soon as I click on "next" on the window where I have to specify my internet connection (I chose "I have direct connection to the internet") I receive the same error as described in BUG ID 309350 (mirror list could not be downloaded) I attached the log file. Thank you for any help!
