Hum, that's not good. Do you have perl-URPM installed? It might be missing. It should have been installed by default when you installed, but maybe something went wrong somewhere? Just to be sure you could install the packages from the updates: ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/8.2/RPMS/perl-URPM-0.70-10_82.1mdk.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/8.2/RPMS/urpmi-4.0-20_82.2mdk.noarch.rpm It could be that it also needs (not sure): ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/8.2/RPMS/perl-Locale-gettext-1.01-6.2mdk.i586.rpm After installing these the urpmi.addmedia and urpmi commands should work right. > --- Marcel Pol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 13:16:09 +0200 > > From: Marcel Pol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: nessus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: Mandrake install issue > > > > On Sat, 23 Aug 2003 11:35:47 -0700 (PDT) > > Brian Kantar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > OK...
