exactly, just switched mkcd for gendistrib. And this works, all these errors from mkcd or urpm-tools ultimately come from failures during build of hdlists. > It may be some cooker lib problem not yet present in the install... perl-URPM, glibc, ld, rpm - those differ between misc-mdkinst and an installed cooker. Switching gendistrib-present for gendistrib-8.2 works so I doubt the problem is rpm as the error might suggest. I supect that it is somewhere in URPM but I haven't yet traced down the actual problem. I think it is much more likely that it is some part of URPM + ld that doesn't work. also - but this may be completely irrelevant - I notice that the error is not connected by any specific rpm. If you remove some rpms inbetween, build of hdlist will continue reading rpms until roughly the same number of rpms is reached as when the error occured first. Or it may be related to size, build of hdlists fails roughly at 700MB of rpms read. But this is all speculation. - Mark
