arriagga Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Can anyone tell me where can i get kpackage for mandrake 10? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpank Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Have you tried looking for it with urpmi or in Mandrake Control Centre > Software > Installing software? Try 'urpmi kpackage' from the command line, if you can't find it in MCC (you'll have to set urpmi up first if you haven't already done so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpank Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 OK, I had a look on pbone and found the actual package - kdeadmin-kpackage-3.2-5mdk.i586.rpm. Try 'urpmi kdeadmin-kpackage' instead of what I told you before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arriagga Posted June 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 i found it on the web, but not on any of the 3 cds, and i cant install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpank Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Can you tell us why you can't install it? Do you get any error messages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 The kdeadmin-kpackage rpm is on CD 4. When you setup your urpmi sources: http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php add 'main' to your sources. Then you'll be able to install it using urpmi or the graphical mode in Mandrake Control Centre. If you are done, you can disable (not deleting) this source (mcc), until you need it the next time. ftp 'main' contains all rpms from cd 1 - cd 4. Good luck.

papaschtroumpf Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Does kpackage play nice with urpmi? I assume it's just a front-end to rpm, and I assume that rpm and urpmi play nice together (isn't urpmi a wrapper around rpm?) but I have always been wondering about that. Just to be safe I always use urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpank Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 AFAIK, kpackage doesn't play with urpmi at all. I think it is a front-end to rpm, but it doesn't do anything about dependencies other than tell you what they are, whereas urpmi finds all your dependencies for you, if you have everything set up correctly. If you use Gnome, gurpmi acts like urpmi in a GUI - solves deps, all that kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 yep kpackage is nice for reading the RPM's in an explorer kinda way but I then use CLI top actually install and deinstall. its more involved than MCC add/remove SW but its more control and more logical to me to have installed and new in the same place. In debian I use kpackage lots and it plays nicely with apt. Its really up to mandrake to make a urpmi interface part like debian did for apt ... not only that its a step towards universal package management.

arriagga Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 I downloaded from one ftp, but if it is the cd 4 and there are only 3 iso to download, thats kinda of strange isnt it? anyway for me that problem is solved Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
