“Guys, I’m trying to update and download add-ons in IPFire, and I’m having issues with resolving the servers from the repository lists. Is anyone else experiencing this, or have I messed up my IPFire settings?”

Just refreshed all the lists and then installed fireperf addon and the install worked.
What sort of error messages are you finding when trying to use pakfire?
I don’t have any problems
