Mandrake 10CE: Weird Update error

Hi there,

 

hit the "Update" Button in MCC, and there was one update. But the dependency error looks like something I've never seen before:

 

Some package requested cannot be installed:

perl-Libconf-0.29-1mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied perl(Libconf::Glueconf::Passwd))

 

Usually, there's the package or library that's missing listed. But I haven't seen anything with :: in it before.

 

Any idea what it may be, and how I can get around fixing it? This error shows up with all update_sources I can select, or rather, with those that actually work--most of the possible update_sources listed in MCC report they can't cd into the requested directory.

 

93,

The link you mentioned lists 3 RPMs, but they are not clickable (they give ftp errors). What's wrong the Mandrake mirrors tonight anyway? Are they all broke or something?

 

Um, I think the error the original post-er was mentioning was that they have the files, they just won't install because of some weird dependency. I'm having the same problem, but I've added too many similar posts on too many threads here tonight, so I'm giving up and calling it a night.

The problem (apart from all those MDK mirrors being down / rearranged or what), is that the listed dependencies (Libconf, Glueconf, Passwd) are actually supposed to be included in perl-Libconf-0.29-1mdk.noarch, at least according to urpmf ... ;)

I had the same problem, I just installed it with:

urpmi --auto --auto-select --noclean

 

then ran into this, which meant it wouldn't install draktools and some other things, then I installed it by hand, the rpm was in the /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/ directory since I used --noclean.

urpmi /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/perl-Libconf-0.29-1mdk.noarch

then I ran the first command again, which told me it needed perl-Libconf-0.27-1mdk.noarch, got that one, and all was ok.
