urpmc error on LE2005; works in 10.1


Recommended Posts

Is anyone else having trouble with the urpmc perl script on LE2005? I'm getting the following error, which occurs on line 102 of the script:

 

"Couldn't initialize the urpm module to read the urpmi config file at /usr/bin/urpmc line 102."

 

All the other CLI urpmi-related commands are working flawlessly. My perl version is perl-5.8.6-6.1.102mdk. I'm on the new 2.6.11-12mdk kernel, but I wouldn't think that makes a difference. I didn't try using urpmc on the original LE2005 install before the recent perl and kernel updates.

 

Urpmc works fine on my 10.1 install.

 

I checked the author's site, http://viewsvn.ben.reser.org/urpmc/trunk/, but it's down due to a RAID failure.

 

Doing a google search, there is one cooker report of this error but no replies:

I'm aware that there's at least two alternate ways to do the same thing:

1. The equivalent feature in rpmdrake works fine.

2. urpmi --auto-select (it doesn't give you a list like urpmc, but it does prompt y or n, so you could at least check on updated packages that way)

There is also 3: urpmi --media updates --auto-select (that will give all the updates (after you've run urpmi.update update (or -a))

4. urpmi --media update --auto --auto-select (that will install all the updates)

 

For the error: I don't know.
