Forum OpenACS Q&A: Unable to connect to OpenACS repository from 5.4.2

Hi,
I've installed a fresh instance of OACS 5.4.2. I need to install some softwares now.
When I click 'Install software' and 'Install from repository'
it gives following exception. How can I fix this ?

-------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance

PS: I have removed the vendor, maturity, m and error html tags these were not allowing me to post this error here.

You can't fix that in your installation.
It looks to me, as if something went wrong during the move of openacs.org to the new server. The package installer
loads a manifest from openacs.org via the following url

https://openacs.org/repository/5-4/manifest.xml

Apparently, at least the closing tags of the element package are missing....
