[rohitsz]

Greetings there,

i tried to install postfix,and i got this output:

[root@localhost rohitsz]# urpmi postfix
To satisfy dependencies, the following 2 packages are going to be installed (4 MB):
libpostfix1-2.2.5-7mdk.i586
postfix-2.2.5-7mdk.i586
Is this OK? (Y/n) y

Before the urpmi, i had changed my dvd drive from an acer(dvd-r) to a samsung(dvd-r/rw).Could that contribute to this error?

 

thanks,

rohit.

It could do yes, you'd need to remove your urpmi sources for the CD and add them again. You can do this in System/Configuration/Packaging/Software Media Manager.

 

That way you can just remove the CD sources, and leave the rest of your sources without removing them all. Then you can create a custom entry, point to CD drive, and check the box for create media for whole distribution. It just needs to go to /mnt/cdrom for it to add back. If you have 3 x CD's, do this for each of them.
