Summary: "menu" package neither here nor there
Product: rpmdrake
Version: 2.1-34mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: program
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I did a full install from a Nov. 10 cooker (checking every available option for
package selection), and then ran through a file of package names I keep issuing
urpmi for each one.
At the end of this, I was having an unrelated problem running update-menus, so I
tried to find the product component which owned /usr/bin/update-menus in order
to file a bug report.
The /usr/bin/update-menus file actually belongs to the menu package. However,
rpmdrake couldn't find it using filename search, and some additional testing
showed that rpmdrake didn't list the menu package in the "all packages" list
whether you chose "install" or "remove". The package effectively didn't exist.
However, following the advice of cooker posters, we have the following results:
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# urpmf --files update-menus
> majesty-demo:/usr/local/games/maj_demo/.manifest/scripts/update-menus.sh
> mindrover-demo:/usr/games/mindrover_demo/.manifest/scripts/update-menus.sh
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# urpmf /usr/bin/update-menus
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# urpmi menu
> Everything already installed
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]#
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftg]# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/update-menus
menu-2.1.5-124mdk
The upshot of this is that rpmdrake and urpmf don't seem to know about the
"menus" package, but rpm and urpmi do. On the advice of Leon Brooks, I have
copied off my /var/lib directory (includes rpm and urpmi), which I will be happy
to burn to CD for anyone who wants it (it's about 73MB).
A timely response would be appreciated, since I don't want to keep 73MB of stuff
around indefinitely if nobody is interested.
