MDK 10.1: Can't find Parted with urpmi [solved]

[rakenotriva]

I have added numerous mirrors, but when I search in Control Center for packages with parted in the name or description I only get libparted or a gui front end for parted. Could it be installed already? A find command did not locate it.

 

Anyway, parted-1.6.21-1mdk.src.rpm does exist, and I could download it from my browser and make it, but I want to know why the mandrake tool doesn't work, otherwise I won't be able to trust it for anything in the future.

 

This is a new installation of Mandrake, so there shouldn't be any issues from previous package installs.

 

-rake

You must have something wrong in your URPMI mirrors.

 

I just tested and it gave me this:µ

 

[root@localhost manu]# urpmi parted

Pour satisfaire les dépendances, les 2 paquetages suivants vont être installés (1 Mo):

libparted1.6-1.6.21-1mdk.i586

parted-1.6.21-1mdk.i586

Est-ce correct ? (O/n)

 

So the package is there.

rpm.pbone.net will show you where it's hiding. :)

Thanks Phantom,

 

[root]# urpmi parted

The following packages contain parted:

gparted

libparted1.6

libparted1.6-devel

qtparted

 

I'm glad to know what I should be seeing. I'll keep adding mirrors.

spinynorman,

 

pbone.net did indeed find it for me. It took me a couple of tried to cofig the mirror, but then carroll.cac.psu.edu came through. It all works like I was originally expecting it to.

 

 

Thanks, merci, gracias.
