Is this still happening?

It looks like problems parsing the manifest.xml file, which contains information about all packages in the repostory.

I just tried now, and my server parses it fine. We did do some fixes to the repository in the past few days, so it may have been fixed by that.

Could you post some more details, such as which version of openacs you are running and the exact steps to cause the error?
