Ok, some progress here... just updated 15 packages from the Updates source using rpmdrake... One question, are the rpm packages kept in my machine after installation? Do I need to delete them? Thanks

What about the core Mandrake stuff? How often does this kinda mirror problem happens?

I'm new..... so actually I don't know what's a plf... :P I'm just following the commands from easyurpmi...

No go my friend. I think this updating issue is going to drive off a lot of new users.

LiquidZoo, Tried both your commands but still got errors. I think it might the mirrors' fault. By the way I got the original command from http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php

I'm having problems updating 10.0 CE. I've been trying for weeks but still fail. Hope somebody can help me out. I can connect and download from the ftp site with my browser but when I try to use urpmi to update, I get a "Connect failed error". Below is the output from my console: [root@fujitsuu-4w4qm8 chyap]# urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/10.0 with hdlist.cz added medium plf retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "plf"... ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/10.0/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Connect failed ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/1...hesis.hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Connect failed ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/b...hesis.hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Couldn't cd to base ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/s...hesis.hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/b...esis.hdlist1.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Couldn't cd to base ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/b...esis.hdlist2.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Couldn't cd to base ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/s...esis.hdlist1.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/s...esis.hdlist2.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/1...esis.hdlist1.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/1...esis.hdlist2.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/10.0/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Connect failed ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/base/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Couldn't cd to base ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/hdlist.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/b...base/hdlist1.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Couldn't cd to base ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/b...base/hdlist2.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (9) Couldn't cd to base ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/hdlist1.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/hdlist2.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/1...10.0/hdlist1.cz ftp://ftp.samizdat.net/pub/plf/mandrake/1...10.0/hdlist2.cz ...retrieving failed: curl: (7) Given file does not exist retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "plf" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "plf" unable to update medium "plf" Thank you.
