  • adoupdate not working after stata aug 30 update

    i've got stata 18 on 64 bit windows 10. since the update from aug 30, i get errors with ado update or with adoupdate, which does nothing for about 20 seconds and then returns this error::
    Code:
    . adoupdate
    note: ado update updates community-contributed files; type update to check for updates to official
          Stata.
    
    Checking status of installed packages:
    
        [1] qrprocess at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/q:
            fopen():  679 unexpected web error loadsscupfile():  - function returned error
            pkg_update_status_ssc():  - function returned error pkg_update_status():  - function
            returned error pkg_update_status_noisily():  - function returned error
            extract_update_exists():  - function returned error pkg_chk_and_update():  - function
            returned error <istmt>:  - function returned error r(679);
    the ado update or adoupdate command hang on first file found (in this case, 'qrprocess') i have over 100 user-written programs installed, most from ssc. i can manually uninstall or reinstall a program form ssc without difficulty, so i dont think it's an internet access issue. if i uninstall qrprocess, then the ado update hangs on the next file.
    there is no explanation availble for the error 679,
    my installation passes the installation quality check; there are no file system errors on my disk, and i've force-installed the stata update again.
    i'm trying to avoid reinstalling my whole stata installation.
    any insight or hints for solution?
    thanks

    I get a slightly different error with the Windows 10 and Stata 18 with yesterday's update.

    Code:
    . adoupdate, update all
    note: ado update updates community-contributed files; type update to check for updates to official Stata.

      yes, I received the same error and wrote to tech support - no answer (that works) yet (I also received the 679 error code)

        Rich and Leonardo - thank you for the confirmation of a problem. We will await a response from tech support.

          It appears that a script on http://repec.org/ is not responding. This issue is not related to the recent update as I can reproduce it with older Stata's too. We will reach out to Kit Baum on our end so he can look into it.
