After having the palm/mandrake 9.1 sync working well for a week or so with Kpilot I seem to have bolluxed it up by trying a sync with Evolution. Instead of transfer-pilot (or whatever the name of the Kpilot deamon is) it's now using gnome-pilot.
And it's not working, so after playing around with it a bit, I decided that I'd mucked it up enough to deinstall the gnome-pilot stuffs and reinstall them. Used MCC to remove everything with 'pilot' in it, and tried to use MCC to install evoluton-pilot. This spurs the system to add about 4 necessary additional packages, which was fine with me. But after a brief period of apparent file transferring I get the following warning: "Signature libgnome-pilot1-0.1.71-3.1DK.i586.rpm not correct, continue anyway?" to which I say "yeah". Then there's an error "Could not read signature block ('rpmReadSignature' failed)", and finally an error that the file is corrupt. I've tried this 3 times over a 12 hour period, so it's not some transitory error. I have distro cdrom 2 in the drive, and am using dresden for main, usc for contrib, ibiblio for updates (never any in 3 weeks -- does that seem right?), and zarb for plf. Is this error telling me that the files are corrupt at the source? Which source is it? (I didn't have any problem with the cdrom at installation - but I seem to remember there was a CDROM access error in dmesg . . . ) By the way, with no obvious deamons runnning, dropping the palm (Kyocera 7135 Smartphone) in the cradle and hitting the hotsync button on the cradle, nothing appears to happen at the desktop, but the palm does some synching stuff (not all, just the stuff that was set up in gnome-pilot). As a semi-unrelated question -- when I just try to synch while in Evolution it seems ok until it errors out "unable to open gnome-cal". What should I look for there? Thanks, Max
