This just in
9.2 rc1 cooker... the software manager seems to be broken, and I can't
add any sources - was trying to revamp the sources to include the new CDs as opposed to the old ones. Software Manager quietly dies after I tell it
where to go for the CD.
Also I tried to add in cooker main and contrib and can't get anywyere...
so I just removed /etc/urpmi and /var/lib/rurpmi etc. Now the whole urpmi subsystem is hosed. I just want to rebuild it from scratch, include main/contrib/plf as well as the local cd sources list but can't do any-
thing now as it just says the thing is locked....
help
There is a problem with the gui frontend to urpmi.addmedia that is fixed in an upcoming drakxtools: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5083 Adding from the command line works. You might try re-adding the CD sources with:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib removable://mnt/cdrom/
with the mount point adjusted to show your reader and CD1 loaded. I would do urpmi.removemedia -a first to try to clean the slate.
