Had an odd problem with urpmi recently, is anyone else seeing this? On both my systems, it seemingly simply will not check for hdlist for plf from the remote source. If I do an urpmi.update -a, this is what I see (oh, probably unrelated, but note that this is WAY slower than it used to be - it takes ages to get through checking for cooker and contrib hdlists, for some reason, the whole process takes about three minutes):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] radiohead]# urpmi.update -a retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "cooker"... ...retrieving done examining synthesis file [/var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.cooker.cz] retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "contrib"... ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/synthesis.hdlist2.cz ...retrieving done examining hdlist file [/var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.contrib.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.contrib.cz] examining MD5SUM file examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf.cz] performing second pass to compute dependencies examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.cooker.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf.cz] found 0 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] [EMAIL PROTECTED] radiohead]# Note that it checks for a cooker hdlist and sees that it's up to date, finds a newer contrib hdlist and downloads it, but for plf does...nothing at all to check for a new hdlist. If I try with just urpmi.update plf, I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] radiohead]# urpmi.update plf examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.cooker.cz] examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz] examining MD5SUM file examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf.cz] [EMAIL PROTECTED] radiohead]# With a long pause between the examination of the contrib synthesis and "examining MD5SUM file". Again, no attempt at all to check for or download a new hdlist. I can't see anything different about the plf source in urpmi.cfg, from the other two sources. ideas? -- adamw
