[oe] tzdata/tzcode fetch fails, outdated...and compile fails

[Maurizio Rottin]

hi,
i need to compile openntpd, but tzdata and tzcode version 2007 are no
more on the ftp server.

i did just
cp /stuff/org.openembedded.dev/packages/tzdata/tzdata_2007k.bb
/stuff/org.openembedded.dev/packages/tzdata/tzdata_2008f.bb
cp /stuff/org.openembedded.dev/packages/tzcode/tzcode-native_2007k.bb
/stuff/org.openembedded.dev/packages/tzcode/tzcode-native_2008e.bb

and since the versions 2008f and 2008e are different, the file
tzcode-native_2008e.bb must be edited to reflect SRC_URI
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdat-2008f.tar.gz

then if i try to bitbake openntpd i get the following error:
