Trying to install packages with smart, puzzles me.

Hi,

thought it best to start a brand new topic about something that puzzles me.

As you probably saw in an earlier topic, I started about configuring Smart, I've now run into something strange trying to install new packages with Smart. Here's the thing.

I've configured Smart with the following sources:

- contrib

- main

- plf-free

- plf-nonfree

- updates

After adding those sources, I ran an "smart update" and an "smart upgrade". The last one gave me this:

smart upgrade
Loading cache...
Updating cache...								 ################################################################### [100%]

Computing transaction...
No interesting upgrades available.

After this I tried to install "graveman" with smart and it gave me the following:

smart install graveman
Loading cache...
Updating cache...								 ################################################################### [100%]

Computing transaction...

Installing packages (87):
 ash					 ldconfig				libgsm1				 libsancho-gui2		  libxrender1

 hicolor-icon-theme	  libgnutls13			 libpcre0				libxml2
 ia_ora-gnome			libgpg-error0		   libpng3				 libxrandr2

40.9MB of package files are needed. 103.1MB will be used.

Confirm changes? (Y/n):

So many packages, just to install "graveman". So I started to wonder and installed "graveman" with urpmi. This is how it came out:

urpmi graveman

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/release/graveman-0.3.12-5mdv2007.0.i586.rpm
installeren van graveman-0.3.12-5mdv2007.0.i586.rpm vanaf /var/cache/urpmi/rpms
Voorbereiden...				  ###########################################################################
###############
  1/1: graveman			  ###########################################################################
###############

Where am I going wrong here?

By the way, the same thing happened when I tried to install "Koverartist" with smart. It wanted to install 208 packages of a total of 123.8MB. Just for a program like "Koverartist".

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

The first one means there are no new packages in the updates dir. Since all the others you gave to smart are frozen.

The second one is confusing because it wants to install packages which suppose to be installed like bash, corutils or grep etc. It's like smart doesn't know what's installed and what's not installed.

There is a channel called rpm-sys among the channel. This should represent the RPM databas. You didn't deleted or unchecked, it do you?

When I tried to install graveman with smart it didn't want to install anything else.
