Hello,

 

I was attempting to update through MCC, and I was getting a message saying it was impossible to do so, and my contrib, updates and main needed removed and reinstalled. So I removed them from MCC, easy_urpmi would install contrib and updates, but it wouldnt connect to the ftp for main. This was this error I got,

[root@gian gian]# urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/Mandrakelinux/o...i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz

added medium main

write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg]

examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD1 (cdrom1).cz]

examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD2 (cdrom2).cz]

examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD3 (cdrom3).cz]

examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.simonzone.cz]

examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz]

retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "main"...

    ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/Mandrakelinux/o..._info/hdlist.cz

 

...retrieving failed: curl: (9) FTP: access denied

retrieval of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed

no hdlist file found for medium "main"

examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz]

problem reading synthesis file of medium "main"

found 0 headers in cache

removing 0 obsolete headers in cache

write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg]

unable to update medium "main"

 

thank you

 

P.S. I got that message for three different servers

The Mandrakelinux directory, though it exists at ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu, is empty. Don't know why. Perhaps it's temporary, I dunno. So Easy-Urpmi is giving you a bum reference on this one. I think you'll need to try a different mirror, at least for now.

 

You can double-check what Easy-Urpmi gives you by navigating in a browser to the mirror site.
