paul Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 The rpmdrake package, which provides the graphical software installation and update tools rpmdrake, drakrpm-edit-media and MandrivaUpdate), included with Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring contains several bugs. These include: When installing software with rpmdrake, if packages are selected for installation which require other packages to be installed as well, a message will be displayed that says To satisfy dependencies, the following packages also need to be installed:, but no list of dependencies will actually be shown. When installing software with rpmdrake, searching for a package always searches through the full set of available packages even when a search filter - such as All updates or Mandriva choices - is selected. When installing software with rpmdrake, when you switch between two subsections with the same name - for instance, System/Settings/Other and Development/Other - the list of packages is not updated; in the example, the packages from the System/Settings/Other group will continue to be displayed, instead of the packages from Development/Other. Running rpmdrake with the --merge-all-rpmnew parameter, which uses rpmdrake to help you merge changes in updated configuration files, does not work. When updating your system with MandrivaUpdate, when a package name cannot be correctly parsed, the name of the previous package in the list will be displayed again instead. When installing software with rpmdrake, the application will crash if a package with a malformed summary in the Unicode text encoding system was selected. Some other, more minor bugs were also fixed in this update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
