Sorry for the very long (what follows), but I've been at this point
three times now, and each time I go to easyurpmi.zarb.org and start
over with urpmi.removemedia, (then get the new sources) and then:
rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -v -n && ldconfig &&
urpmi.update -a --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select --noclean
hi Tom;
okay, I don't need to update the menus and all that after each large
update? I thought I read here that I should.
Depends, as I said sometimes after large updates it's needed,
along with log out/in .... But you were tryin to do all those
system 'refreshers' _before_ updating. You got it sort'a kind'a
backasswards sweetheart ;) At least what you posted
Uh huh. I neglected to post the several hours of downloads that preceded
that. :)
the order in which I have been doing stuff is:
urpmi.removemedia (if necessary)
urpmi.addmedia
Only needed if changing or adding new sources.
rpm --rebuilddb etc
Not normaly needed. This is only if your database of installed RPMs gets
corrupted.
urpmi.update -a
urpmi --auto-select
rpm --rebuild, etc
Again, this is not needed. It is a repair command, and not normal maintence.
I figured any time I added or removed any number of programs (whether one or
fifty) or changed media managers it wouldn't hurt to run the system
refreshers.
On a properly working system, you should never have to run
"rpm --rebuilddb".
