I installed fresh from my sunet cooker rsync about three days ago. Last
night (around 02:00 UTC) I freshened my rsync, then did the following:

1-urpmi.addmedia --update cooker-updates
file://mnt/nfs/ax5t3/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz

2-urpmi -a

3-urpmi -v --auto-select

4-urpmi kernel

Step 3 installed about 39 packages and ended with a warning that two
packages were not available. Step 4 ended with "everything already
installed", even though my kernel was 2.4.22-9, but the package on the
mirror is 2.4.22-10. So, I went to the RPMS directory and successfully
ran 'rpm -i kernel-2.4.22-10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm'.

Is this oddball 10mdk-1-1mdk rpm the reason why urpmi wouldn't install
it? How do I find out what other existing packages didn't install? Why
were there packages missing?


BTW, after each rsync, the last screen message (after size/speedup) is
not appended to the log. That last message is always of the form: "rsync
error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045)".
Why is this line not appended? Why the error message at all?
