Available dictionaries fails.

[Achaean]

Available dictionaries fails, because can't connect to SF.NET.

I am able to open http://opendict.sf.net in a browser, which redirects to https://opendict.sourceforge.net/. Maybe it was temporary error?

[Achaean]

I can also open the site in a browser.
I'm only getting the error, from inside the program.

Have you tried to change a line in lib/config.py from:

      self.repository = \
               'http://opendict.sf.net/Repository/Data/opendict-add-ons.xml'

to

      self.repository = \
               'https://opendict.sourceforge.net/Repository/Data/opendict-add-ons.xml'

does it work then?

[Achaean]

Nope! :-(

[nerijus]

Hmm, strange. Have you used **https**://opendict.sourceforge.net/Repository/Data/opendict-add-ons.xml as I suggested or http?

[Achaean]

I didn't change something - configured - altered in any way etc.
I only downloaded the source -> and (as root) "make install".

I don't know if its useful, but here's console's output:

>opendict

This warning is harmless. Did it work with https?

[Achaean]

No.

I think I found a problem - "Content-Length" header may not exist. curl -v https://opendict.sourceforge.net/Repository/Data/opendict-add-ons.xml confirms it. Please try this patch (or change the lines manually):
