banjo Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) I am trying to install a program (lilypond) that the MCC installer has found in my sources. I set my sources up a while ago using easy-urpmi. It worked fine for a while, but now whenever I try to install a program it freezes. I am running Mandy 2006 from Power Pack. I go to the View Installable Software tool in the MCC and search for lilypond and it finds the dependencies etc etc. I select the programs, approve the dependencies, and click on Install. It displays a dialog box with the title "Package Installation" and the text "Initializing" and that is all she wrote. The program freezes forever. I have to Kill the process as root to break out of it. Does anybody know what I need to do to get my rpmdrake back? I really would like to be able to install programs on my computer again. Thanks in advance Banjo (_)=='=~ P.S. I looked at my sources in MCC, and I have both Main and Contrib pointing here: ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/ I can no longer find that mirror in the list at easyurpmi. Is it still there? If not, will that cause rpmdrake to hang? Thx. Edited December 3, 2006 by banjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjo Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Ok. I fixed it. Sorry about the panic. I deleted my sources and replaced them with ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/ and it worked. In my own defense, though, hanging up the program is a really really unfriendly way to tell me that my sources are stale.
