urpmi crashes when adding a media source

[mmodem]

I downloaded the 3 CDs Mandrake 10.1 Community and now when trying to add new media sources, it crashes with this error message:

 

no info available for package libexif8 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/URPM/Build.pm line 470.

 

No matter is i use the command edit-urpm-media or use urpmi.addmedia to add local media sources, both crash with the same type of message saying that there isnt info available for that package.

Already tried to remove those packages, but then appears the problem again with other packages, and all these packages are good.

 

These same media sources were added using Mandrake10.0, i never had this kind of problems when adding medias sources.

 

Any help?

run urpmi.update before adding a new media; will refresh the package list.

I have the almost same problems when a rh package was present on my media directory.

What command exactly do you use to add the sources?

Or on the GUI, what exactly do you put in which box?

Why dont you read with carefull?

i ddi said that the problem runs with the command urpmi.addmedia or with edit.urpmi.media, makes no diference.

 

And i founf a work around, this can be fixed if you replace the

file :/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/URPM/Build.pm

from the package perl-URPM-0.94-6mdk.i586.rpm (that comes in Mandrake10.0)

 

but this still is a bug thats needs to be fixed!
