Updating gDesklets via Urpmi?

[DR_K13]

I am using mandrake 10.1 and gnome 2.6--

 

 

Can i update gDesklets via urpmi? I used this command to install.

 

urpmi gDesklets

 

It loaded and installed fine, but the shell crashes when started. Here is what I got/

[sean@localhost sean]$ gdesklets shell 
[sean@localhost sean]$ 
(gDesklets Shell:14713): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-client.c: line 547 (gconf_client_add_dir): assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed

   result = self.get_plugins_by_pattern("name", name)

 File "/usr/share/gdesklets/shell/Plugin.py", line 31, in _get_plugin 
   plugin = registry.get_plugin(name, *interfaces)

   result = self.get_plugins_by_pattern("name", name)

 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py", line 33, in __get_daemon 

 File "/usr/share/gdesklets/main/client.py", line 178, in set_startup_command 
   self.__send(COMMAND_SET_STARTUP_COMMAND, cmd)

 File "/usr/share/gdesklets/utils/xdr.py", line 81, in send 
   s.send(header) 
socket.error: (32, 'Broken pipe')

 

 

Now I beleve its due to an old version that urpmi loaded.

 

So.... to update to a newer version do I use the command

 

urpmi gDesklets-0.34.1

????/

 

 

thanks.

urpmi gDesklets should automatically bring you the latest version of gDesklets thats in your urpmi sources - checking that your sources are current is probably the first logical step. If they are current and you can't get an upgraded version you may need to be looking at rebuilidng a cooker package.
