Mandrake 9.2 & urpmf

[chris-tux]

Hi all,

I have just migrated from 9.1 to 9.2. Everything seems ok except that i had to install ALSA drivers to support my Aureal au8810 snd card.

I was just looking by curiosity with :

[chris@tux chris]$ urpmf alsa

impossible de prendre en compte la source « ftp.esat.net_ » car il n'existe aucu n fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.ftp.esat.net_]

impossible de prendre en compte la source « Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1) » c ar il n'existe aucun fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 1 (x8 6) (cdrom1)]

impossible de prendre en compte la source « Installation CD 2 (x86) (cdrom2) » c ar il n'existe aucun fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 2 (x8 6) (cdrom2)]

impossible de prendre en compte la source « International CD (x86) (cdrom3) » ca r il n'existe aucun fichier de liste [/var/lib/urpmi/list.International CD (x86) (cdrom3)]

initscripts:/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa

initscripts:/etc/sysconfig/alsa

...

It seems like /var/lib/urpmi has not been updated ?

I checked the urpmi.conf file with cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.conf (dunno any smarter way of ckecking the list of sources :unsure: ) . It seems ok to me:

[chris@tux chris]$ cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg

Workstation\ DVD\ (cdrom1) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS {

hdlist: hdlist.Workstation DVD (cdrom1).cz

with_hdlist: ../../Mandrake/base/hdlist1.cz

removable: /dev/hdd

key-ids: 70771ff3

}

 

Workstation\ DVD\ (cdrom2) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2 {

with_hdlist: ../../Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz

}

 

Workstation\ DVD\ (cdrom3) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS3 {

hdlist: hdlist.Workstation DVD (cdrom3).cz

with_hdlist: ../../Mandrake/base/hdlist3.cz

removable: /dev/hdd

key-ids: 70771ff3

}

 

local {

hdlist: hdlist.local.cz

list: list.local

}

 

plf {

hdlist: hdlist.plf.cz

list: list.plf

}

 

Is it normal, how can i manage to have "clean" files ?

I've never found out a different way to view the list of sources. To update your hdlists, have you tried:

urpmi.update -a -f

[chris-tux]

Thanks Steve,

I tried

 urpmi.update -a -f

with no success. I have always the same complaints. I think that I will vi it but there is a lot of files in /var/lib/urpmi :unsure:

[bvc]

but there is a lot of files in /var/lib/urpmi  :unsure:

shouldn't be....I have 3 sources

[root@ml root]# ls -a /var/lib/urpmi
./               MD5SUM                .RPMLOCK
../              names.ClubIntContrib  synthesis.hdlist.ClubIntContrib.cz
list.ClubIntPLF  names.ClubInternetFR  synthesis.hdlist.ClubInternetFR.cz
.LOCK            names.ClubIntPLF      synthesis.hdlist.ClubIntPLF.cz

 

have you done this?

Cooker ML message from Warly (mandrakesoft employee)

The well known message:

 

medium "92_contrib" uses an invalid list file:

mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method

 

is due to a bug into urpmi.addmedia which creates a file list even if

there is none on the server, and then try to update it but does not

manage to download a new one.

rm /var/lib/urpmi/list.<media> fix the problem.

Thanks Kuchwas :P

Everything's ok now!
