I have been trying to install mjpegtools-1.6.1-7mdk.i586.rpm on Mdk 10.1 Official. There are 3 other rpm's as pre-reqs. They are : libquicktime0-0.1.3.9-1mdk.i586.rpm, libmjpegtools1.6-1.6.2-7mdk.i586.rpm, and libdirectfb0.9_20-2mdk.i586.rpm.

 

I have had urpmi set up for some time and not had problems installing other software. Most recently I installed mplayer without a problem.

 

Here is the error message I get.

There is a problem with the installation: retrieving failed, curl failed: exit with 7 or signal 0 unable to install package... ( it then lists the packages I'm trying to install.

 

I followed the link https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=23154 . I have tried to no avail to make sure I have the correct keys installed. I'm not positive I did what is required. In particular the step

gpg --list-keys

The secibd line is confusing to me. Just what does "> gpg --list-keys' do? How do I verify I have done what is required? The last line is also confusing. If I go to /root/.gnupg and look at file pubring.gpg I can see information in this file. Once again, how dod I know it is correct?

 

Also, I have looked at /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg. I'm not sure how to verify I have the correct information in this file. Here is mine.

I'm concerned the last line of each entry, for example : with_hdlist: hdlist.cz is not as shown in article 23154. Should I add the ./ in front of hdlist.cz ???

 

Thanks in advance for any insight you provide.

My experience is that whenever I got that Message, I needed to rerun easy-urpmi again after 2 or 3 hours because it meant that the mirror was not operating correctly and by delaying download attempts allowed the mirror to update correctly. When that didn't work, then selecting another mirror almost always solved the problem.

Save yourself some upset by remembering that Linux is not Windows and most of the time solutions are relatively simple, NOT complicated.

 

Cheers. John.

AussieJohn, Thank-you for the response. I have managed to get mjpegtools installed. I downloaded the mdk.rpm and used urpmi to install it locally. The insteresting thing I don't understand is urpmi asked me if it was O.K. to get the pre-req's, ( I undestand the pre- req's) I said yes, and it downloaded them without a hitch, and every thing is now installed. Why this worked now and not before is what I don't get.... Purple smoke and mirrors I guess.

 

"Save yourself some upset by remembering that Linux is not Windows and most of the time solutions are relatively simple, NOT complicated." I appreciate your comment. I've been using linux for about three years now, and only work with windblows when one of the kids or the wifes machines is mucked up.

 

Urpmi has worked well for me. This is one of the few times Ihave had a problem with it. I was trying to follow the How_to on this forum to download and replace key files. Linux is a hobby for me. If something doesn't work, it is just a little challenge to learn something about.

 

Thank-you again for yoru help.
