And while we are on urpmi problems can someone tell me why I cannot wholly add another media to my list.
I did:
# urpmi.addmedia myrpms file://home/frank/MYRPMS
and :
# urpmi.addmedia -f myrpms file://home/frank/MYRPMS
I get some entries in the /var/lib/urpmi directory but when I do :
# urpmq --list-media
the new media doesn't appear in the list and trying to install the rpms downloaded to the ~/MYRPMS directory, I get the 'Not found' reply.
I have tried:
# urpmi --update -a
But this did not get my new media added either.
Hopefully I'm missing something 'no-brainer'.
Sorry for jumping in on this thread put I thought to keep the subject matter relevant.
I just tried adding a local source as you descibed above, and all turned out well. I used some rpms I downloaded.
Could it possibly be something wrong with the rpms themselves. I think rpm looks at the rpm's header for info to generate the hdlist.
Maybe download some different rpm's in a new directory and try adding them as locale source to see if it works.

As you can see, when I installed the flightgear package I had no problems and at that time this directory was a listed media. I simply did a urpmi.removemedia, deleted some old stuff and then ran into this problem when I went back to urpmi.addmedia.

As you can see - no 'myrpms' media. I have even tried a new directory with only the latest download ( and successfully installed ) rpm in it. The same thing is happening. It's driving me nuts. Unless there is a simple way of getting all my media back up should I scrap the lot and start again, well, I may as well be back fighting windows as this is the type of problem I left windows for.
Any other ideas anyone?
