SoulSe Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 I cannot add update sources and it is driving me crazy!!! If I add them via MDK control Panel -> Software Sources Manager, it just closes when I click on Add. If I add them with the urpmi.addmedia command, it adds them, but cannot update or use them and if I add them straight to the urpmi.cfg file then I cannot add or update them. I have even tried un-installing and re-installing urpmi. It adds my downloaded rpms without a problem, but I cannot get any security update sources!!!

Guest anon Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Is it just security sources that don't work ? Say for instance you do: urpmi.addmedia cooker ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/c.../Mandrake/RPMS/ with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz OR: urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS/ with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz Does that work ?? BTW there is a urpmi and drakconf update on cooker. ( they work ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 When I use those commands, it says it worked, but if I then go to Software Sources Manager, the sources I have just added are not listed? I can't install updates until this is working, so an update on urpmi is impossible in a chkicked-and-egg like fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Did you do an updatedb after configuring the sources? It should't be necessary but neither should a lot of things. :-) Also what happens when you do a urpmi.update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 yes, I ran updatedb and when I run urpmi.update it says "the entry to update is missing" and doesn't list any of the sources I have added! Just my CDs and my local rpms directory. It sometimes also bitches about the synthesis file for my downloaded rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anon Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 So if you do urpmi drakconf nothings happends ? Well you can go to the cooker site i listed and manually d-load the urpmi and drakconf rpms. Install them and see if that makes any difference.
