arctic Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Welcome aboard :) What you did is basically okay. If you have broadband, please try the following three steps from a terminal as root user: urpmi --clean (=clean the rpm system-cache, so you get new packages) urpmi.update -a (=update all mirror information) urpmi cups (= well... you know...) Hope it helps. If not, let us know. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmzeplin Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) Hi Arctic, I am not sure about the result that cyrmo had... But I am hoping if you can help me even though it has not solved yet... When I had upgraded to KDE 3.5 before family vacation and printer is not working as well as bad signtures from cups too.... However, tomorrow I will return home to get printer fixed as possible since my cups seems not function right... I tried to update just like cyrmo did; this got me attention and hope if that procedure should fix it even though I upgraded with cups' bad signture?? urpme cups urpmi --clean urpmi.update -a urpmi cups What do you think of process since cups is still in my system... removed cups before clean the system-cache? Thanks... Edited July 8, 2006 by dmzeplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 It won't fix the bad\missing signature problems since the problem is in the packages not on your system, well at least with the signatures part. The 2006 release had and it looks like still has a ton of badly signed packages. You can avoid signature checking with the --no-verify-rpm switch e.g. urpmi --no-verify-rpm cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmzeplin Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Many thanks for feedback... look like --no-verify-rpm ____ is great idea to do that ensure you will get good signatures... Apparently, my cups have installed with good signature, but still having problem with printer... I will stop this issue and move on with printer topics... Many thanks!

scarecrow Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 --no-verify-rpm is actually a bad idea... after all, if Mandriva cannot maintain RPM's with valid signatures on their main repository, then what's the point using any sort of validation? Not that things were MUCH better in the past... but personally, I can't recall having missing or bad signatures from packages of the main repository!

dmzeplin Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I see... Guess CUPS has more issues with bad signature than others in 2006.0 since it is building from new? Since I am using Mandriva 2006.0... I also saw libpython has bad signature when I upgraded from 3.4 to 3.5.2 recently... But I need to get CUPS work properly first as I want printer to work as well... Thanks for your input opinion, I will just install normal operate unless bad signature come up, then i can verify with --no-verify-rpm..... Huh??
