RUMPLE4SKIN Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 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.czadded 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.

jboy Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
