ianw1974 Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Just reinstalled one of my systems with Mandriva 2007 (removing Fedora 5) and found when adding easyurpmi sources, that segmentation faults were occurring. Trying to resolve now, but figure it's something to do with the urpmi application being too old or something. I've been attempting to add: main main_updates contrib contrib_updates plf-free plf-nonfree All can be added successfully, with the exception of contrib and contrib_updates. Each time either of these repositories is attempted to be added, a segmentation fault occurs at the end of adding the repository. This results in urpmi being unusable until these repositories are removed, you can remove with: urpmi.removemedia contrib urpmi.removemedia contrib_updates So far I have the other four repositories added without problems, and now applying the updates from all of these using: urpmi --auto-select --auto I'm doing this on the basis that, when updated, I can then successfully add contrib and contrib_updates without any further segmentation faults. This is theory of course, will update later to let you know if this is the case. My system will take a couple of hours to update completely no doubt. However, will update shortly with my findings. In the meantime, if you're experiencing these problems, to try this method and see if it is more successful in getting things working.

ianw1974 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Update: No, the updates didn't fix it. No update has been released for urpmi, although there has for rpmdrake. I'll try this and see if it works any better than urpmi but doubt it. I have a feeling the contrib and contrib_updates repositories have borked hdlists.

Gowator Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Have yo tried just changing repository? might just be one with borked hdlists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I also had loads of segfaults from urpmi when trying Mandriva 2007 a triple of months ago... Smart was working fine, though. For the moment, I cannot even test it again (Mandy won't work with my current hardware). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Contrib fixed, I've checked today, so it seems the hdlists were borked, and I just needed to wait 24 hours for the mirrors to update. Got all repositories now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
