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.
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.

I tried by moving or deleting rpms that though they went through before, this time they kept coming up with errors.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] frank]# urpmi.addmedia -f myrpms /home/frank/MYRPMS/

added medium myrpms

reading rpm files from [/home/frank/MYRPMS]
It should of listed your package or packages here like... /var/cache/urpmi/headers/Package_Name_Version_Arch
writing list file for medium "myrpms" building hdlist [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.myrpms.cz] choosing compression method with "gzip -4" for archive /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.myrpms.cz real archive size of /var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.myrpms.cz is 1707821 no info available for package flightgear at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/URPM/Build.pm line 465.
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?
You can try this and see if it works.
[root]# urpmi.removemedia myrpms
[root]# urpmi.addmedia -f -c myrpms file://home/frank/MYRPMS
Mike
[root]# urpmi.addmedia -fc myrpms file://home/frank/MYRPMS
Whereas your way of separating them is what was needed.
Back in business and greatly appreciated the assistance offered here.
