Re: [Cooker] Trying To Install Cooker

Will everything get installed if I do not edit those files?  I do not mind 
the errors.

BTW, hdlist.cz was like 7 megs; how do you edit that one?

The problem stem from inconsistencies in the database.

The files

   hdlist.cz, and depslist.ordered

contain a refernce to old kernel rpms, while the RPMS dir contain new
versions. In order to succeed, replace 10 with 11 as follows:
(check both files above)

kernel-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-doc-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-headers-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-smp-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-source-2.4.0-11mdk -1
kernel-utils-2.4.0-11mdk -1
lm_utils-2.4.0_2.5.5-11mdk -1

After doing so I was able to install cooker with no complaints.

However, from my experience, it seems that these files are incosistent most
of the time and it would have been nice if some procedure existed for 
making
them updated locally so a fresh install could be done.

This request should probably be directed to the developers themselves.
