st: -adoupdate- problem

[Michael Hanson <mshanson@mac.com>]

All:

On two different platforms yesterday (and again this morning), I have  
discovered that -adoupdate- returns "package no longer available" for  
all packages listed in the SSC archive -- that is, for all packages at  
the URL http://fmww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/* . Note that files located at  
other URLs, including http://www.stata.com/users/*, http://www.stata-journal.com/* 
, and (interestingly), http://repec.org/* all return "installed  
package is up to date" with -adoupdate-, which is what I would expect  
for the ones from SSC as well.

Interestingly (or oddly, depending on one's perspective), I can still  
use -ssc describe- and -ssc install- to access the very same packages  
that are on each machine I used, so the problem is apparently with the  
way  -adoupdate- is interacting with SSC.  This is with version 11,  
fully updated.  Anyone else noticing this problem with -adoupdate-?   
Any suggestions on how to resolve it?

Thanks,
Mike
