Yeah, sorry, it's me again.
I've waited awhile through a large flood of cooker updates, and I am still unable to install a cooker system.
The ISOs produced by mkcd still loop in "available packages", but I gather from the TODO page that Warly knows about that.
If I install 9.1, define my local cooker directory images as a urpmi source, and try "urpmi --auto-select", I get errors I will include below (they're long and I wouldn't want you to lose interest).
Someone had suggested previously that urpmi itself needed to be updated, so I tried "urpmi urpmi". That also got errors I'll include below.
I had no problems at all through the 9.0 and 9.1 alpha/beta cycles, until mkcd broke sometime after June 3. I've already tried completely re-downloading my cooker directories, and it hasn't helped.
Could those of you who are managing to build cooker please share your secrets ? I'd like to be able to test again....
Output from "urpmi urpmi":
