I keep getting the following error:

unable to take medium "main" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.main] exists

 

When I try to update the sources for main, contrib occurs the same way and so does updates. I get errors similar tot he one above, about how the file does not exist or could not be updated. I am in as root. Any ideas?

:help:

I was having problems after I downloaded the update for rpmdrake.

 

What I did was follow the paths in a browser and found that the path in rpmdrake was incorrect and I manually edited the sources to the correct location of the hdlists.

 

I also had set up shorewall and had to open port 21 for rpmdrake to connect to the FTP sites to download the updates.
