Fix Installer “Package Download Failed: Can’t Find Host!” |

If you’re using Installer to install 3rd party applications, one of the things you need to keep on top of is your list of Sources. Sometimes when one of the sources has changed, it will affect the way you install programs.
Once problem that I have run into in the past is getting the error message from Installer that says “Package download failed: can’t find host!”. It took me a while to search and figure this one out, as I thought it would fix itself over time. Anyways, the problem is because of Ste Packaging’s updated URL. Since they changed it, Installer gives you an error as it can’t find the apps to install.
How to Fix “Package download failed: can’t find host!” in Installer
- Launch Installer. Go to Sources.
- Click EDIT…and then delete the old Ste Packaging URL
- Click EDIT…then ADD…type in (case sensitive!) http://repo.smxy.org/iphone-apps/
- Click OK then press DONE
- (Optional) Go to Install…go to the Sources category…then install/update Community Sources. (this will help).
