Aequitas

In case anyone happens on this with the same issue, I was able to overcome it. After re-reading @Paint_Ninja's last post numerous time, it finally dawned on me that he was referring wholly to the forge installer, which has nothing to do with the packaged modpack installer. As such, I downloaded the new copy of the forge installer and copied it to my linux host, then opened a second ssh session and prepared a cp command to move the new (correct) installer over to the install directory where I was installing the modpack. After the modpack installer had just about finished retrieving files, I overwrote the installer.jar file with the correct one in a seperate ssh session. The modpack (packaged) installer then used that jar to install forge with the included files, and the install finished as I would have expected. Thanks all!

Just tried it again removed directory entirely, downloaded a brand new, fresh copy and did a fresh install, even going as far as running as root for the install to make sure I didn't hose something up permissions wise (I know its a terrible idea.), but same thing, failed install. This is making me feel mighty dumb, I must say... any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.util.List.stream()" because the return value of "net.minecraftforge.installer.DownloadUtils.getIps(String)" is null. I can see all over the place that there are issues with someone mojang changed regarding DNS, however, I have also seen that 'downloading new installer will fix the issue' First off, I want to thank the FTB team for their diligence in working through this. With that said, I can't get past this and have re-downloaded a new version of the server installer numerous times to no avail, here: https://api.modpacks.ch/public/modpack/117/11701/server/linux I've also tried downloading just the new Forge from here: https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.19.2.html, however it states it has not been updated in 17 days. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?
