Description

Using Debian Linux kernel version 2.6.26, I get the following error when trying to install eggs:

/bin/chicken/bin/chicken-install datatype
retrieving ...
connecting to host "chicken.kitten-technologies.co.uk", port 80 ...
requesting "/henrietta.cgi?name=datatype" ...
reading response ...
TCP connect timeout
connecting to host "galinha.ucpel.tche.br", port 80 ...
requesting "/cgi-bin/henrietta?name=datatype" ...
reading response ...
TCP connect timeout
Error: extension or version not found

Retrieving the egg with a browser or telnet works fine. Some investigation of setup-download.scm reveals that if the output port returned by tcp-connect is closed, and then reading from the input port is attempted, TCP timeout error occurs.

It appears that the call to close-output-port should be after the egg is read with read-line in setup-download.scm. I tried commenting out the call to close-output-port and recompiling chicken-install, and I was able to install several eggs, but I still get timeout error when trying to install sxml-transforms.
