Updates not possible after upgrading 10 to 10.1

[BobC]

I just upgraded my mandrake 10 to 10.1 using the 3 CD iso set I downloaded. Things seem to look ok until I tried to get all of the available security, bugfixes and normal updates.

 

When I attempt to do this using Mandrakelinux Control Center I get this message:

 

"There was a problem during the installation. Libegroupwise.so.4 is needed by (installed) evolution -2.0.1-2mdk."

 

I get this message with whatever security update i try to do.. Cdrecord, bind-utils, Zip etc.

 

Before that message I get another "the following packages have to be removed for other to be upgraded" To this I respond with a Yes it is ok to proceed.

 

The mandrake 10.1 CDs offer the upgrade choice (from a previous version such as mandrake 10) so I assumed it was a possible way to go as opposed to a complete install of mandrake 10.1.

 

Did I cause this problem by failing to do something during the upgrade of 10 to 10.1? I am wondering is there some way to fix things up or should I do a complete mandrake 10.1 fresh install?

Thar error always means urpmi isn't setup correctly (read the faqs for urpmi) (Libegroupwise.so.4 is in libevolution-data-server3-1.0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm and that package is in 'main' (carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/main/libevolution-data-server3-1.0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm).

 

Add main, contrib and the plf's as repositories and try again.

Thanks devries, for your help.

I went to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ which helped me to setup urpmi correctly on my computer. After that the updates were installed without any problems.
