Guest garyv Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'm trying to update mdk 10 community, and I can successfully update any non-mdk tools. However, if I attempt to update any of the mdk tools, I am unsuccessful. Everything seems to lead to drakextools-newt-10.34.1mdk.i586. The specific error returned is Sorry, the following package(s) can't be selected. drakextools-newt-10.34.1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied perl(Libconf::Glueconf::NUT::Ups_conf)) I've tried a number of update sources, and two different systems, and I get the same result. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know the solution, or, are all the update sources messed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Head over to http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi and follow the directions there to add a main source to your urpmi. You will need to do this as root in a console (open a console, type su <enter> your root password <enter> ) then try the update. The package that you are missing is perl-Libconf which is located in the main repositories. While you're there, you might want to add a contrib and plf source to urpmi as well.

WilliamS Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 It's called "dependancy hell" and I have the same problem. Maybe re-install and download all new updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, if you are on a broadband internet connection, you can add main, contrib, plf and updates sources to urpmi then remove your cd sources (if you're adding the new sources, remove the old ones first with urpmi.removemedia -a) and always have up-to-date files at your disposal. Just remember, before you install anything (via cli, anyway) to issue the command (as root) urpmi.update -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 The last two times I tried that, after the long time required for my (slow) dial-up the main contrib etc. came up blank. Don't remember if I did urpmi.removemedia -a Might try it again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
