little help deciphering konsole Updates message...


Recommended Posts

Just updated for the very first time. Even managed to save all the downloaded files OK for burning to CD...

However, it seemed to go very well up to package 142 out of 146 total... The final few lines were this:

 

'ftp://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/./bind-utils-9.3.1-4.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm

installing bind-utils-9.3.1-4.1.20060mdk.i586.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms

Preparing... #############################################

142/146: bind-utils #############################################

Installation failed, some files are missing:

'ftp://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/./libfreetype6-2.1.10-9.4.20060mdk.i586.rpm

You may want to update your urpmi database

[root@localhost ~]#

 

There was 142 files in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms for a total of 241.5mb

 

hmm.. I was using the computer for a couple of hours afterwards and everything seemed OK but I'm wondering what exactly is the next move..?

 

thanks in advance

If I remember correctly, as of 2006, this command:

urpmi --auto-update

is the same as

urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-select

(This is on my box that is running 2007, but I think the option was there in 2006, too):

 < root /home/omar > man urpmi
<<snip>>
--auto-update
	   Like --auto-select, but also updates all relevant media before
	   selection of upgradeable packages is made. This avoids a previous
	   call to "urpmi.update".

Neat, I never knew that. I was always typing it in two commands separated by the &&. I like it :P

 

Cheers Steve :beer:
