papaschtroumpf Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) I "upgraded" my 10.0 install to force a hardware upate because I had trouble with USB after swapping the motherboard. It took care of my problem but now it looks like something about urpmi is not quite right. I changed the urmp sources from the default install setting of usingthe install CDs by pointing them to a directory wheer the CDs have been copied (something like /.../install10_0/Mandrake/RPM to /.../install10_0/Mandrake/RPMS7) whenever I try to use urpm I get the following messages: # urpmi --test licq unable to take medium "Installation CD 3 (x86) (cdrom3)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 3 (x86) (cdrom3)] exists unable to take medium "Installation CD 3 (x86) (cdrom4)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 3 (x86) (cdrom4)] exists unable to take medium "Supplementary Applications CD 4 (x86) (cdrom5)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Supplementary Applications CD 4 (x86) (cdrom5)] exists unable to take medium "Supplementary Applications CD 5 (x86) (cdrom6)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Supplementary Applications CD 5 (x86) (cdrom6)] exists unable to take medium "Supplementary Applications CD 5 (x86) (cdrom7)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Supplementary Applications CD 5 (x86) (cdrom7)] exists it seems that everything works fine after that and the install would work (if I didn't use --test) what do the messges mean (or waht does it mean that there is no /var/lib/urpmi/list.Installation CD 3 (x86) (cdrom3) file exists? How do I fix this mess?

I went through the process of changing the uprm media several times and I'm guessing this is a "leftover" entry but I'm not sure how to get rid of it. deleting all the entries with the mandrake control panel and re-enteringthem didn't do the trick.

papaschtroumpf Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I believe your problem is different: you're using a mirror for PLF that isn't working. Try and add a different one (I was not able to get the mandrakeusers.org mirror working properly either). I think my problem is one of "phantom" media. I can;t find where urpmi decides to check for "Installation CD 3 (x86) (cdrom3)", for example that entry doesn't exist in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg I do have a similar entry, which is my current update source, so I'm gussing that the one above (which uses cdrom3 instead of disk3) is a leftover from a previous attempt at setting the update, or a leftover from the upgrade install. Installation\ CD\ 3\ (x86)\ (disk3) file://home/public/Mandrake100Install/Mandrake/RPMS3 { hdlist: hdlist.Installation CD 3 (x86) (disk3).cz with_hdlist: ../../Mandrake/base/hdlist3.cz key-ids: 70771ff3 } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
