...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 3</p>
<p>and urpmi tries to download it but can't. <b>Why?</b> <i>Because
it isn't in repository.</i></p>
Which leads to a question? Where does urpmi get it's data? Meaning
why/how does it think it has 'mate-calc' when it isn't in repo? What
should be next steps to resolve? <br>
