Thanks Troy,

Did it tried it. Here is what I get :

Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Downloading header for httpd-suexec to pack into transaction set.
ftp://mirror.in2p3.fr/pub/linux/scientific/42/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/httpd-suexec-2.0.52-22.ent.i386.rpm: 
[Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] (111, 'Connection refused')
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: httpd-suexec-2.0.52-22.ent.i386.rpm from sl-errata: 
[Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Wget worked...

We do have an antiviral protection on ftp flows. I have hand on it,
so I tried to disable ftp inspection.

=> It works much better, so your clue is right.

I never had this problem with older SL distro (3.0.2,3.0.3).

Why do I get a 502 error instead of 501 ?

Any way of solving this in a clean manner ? (I mean avoiding
patching byterange.py) ?

Thank you very much.

'xcuse me, being french, I am suffering of cultural blindness
