urpmi error message

[Guest dadinplaid]

I am prepared to install ERP5 (open source accounting software) on a Mandrakelinux 10.1 server but when I try to urpmi ERP5 I am getting the following error message:

 

Some package requested cannot be installed:

ERP5-0.9-1mdk.noarch (due to unsatisfied PyXML)

Continue? (Y/n)

 

When I select Y to continue, I am sent right back to the # prompt and am unable to install any of the rpms. Is there anything that I can do? Thank you for your help.

try to update your source... ex: #urmpi.update source1

[Guest dadinplaid]

thank you, aioshin, i tried this, and a few other things but i'm still getting the same message. could it be that the source file is corrupt & if so, how could i urpmi this software excluding that package, then maybe later install it some other way? just guessing...

should i try and update python? can i do this through urpmi? or should i try to get it installed with the tar.gz file here: http://openbrick.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi//

thanks for any insight

The latest rpm for that is 1.24 You can get it here, but check the "depends" list below.

Anon, I am getting the same message when I try to install the noarch rpm that you gave me (nice resource site, thanks). When I try to urpmi.update I get the following message:

Do you think that I'm experiencing a software or a hardware problem?

[Guest dadinplaid]

anyone know what unsatisfied PyXML means? is it Python related? i am lost here trying to install this software... I would try to install from the tar.gz if i had an idea of how to do it but i can't seem to do anything with the tarball that i have downloaded... any words of wisdom?

Setup your repositories correctly. Read the faqs for urpmi please.
