No, either...I removed Mesa to make urpmi --auto-select work, and now look what happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED] adamw]# urpmi Mesa Everything already installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] adamw]# rpm -qa | grep Mesa libMesaGLU1-5.0.1-3mdk libMesaGL1-5.0.1-3mdk libMesaGLU1-devel-5.0.1-3mdk I'm lost...is there actually supposed to be a package just called Mesa? If so, why doesn't it install it? If not, why did I have one before? :) I don't THINK there's anything wrong with my rpm database, because I rebuilt it when this problem first cropped up and it still happened. -- adamw

Does you rpm db says XFree86-libs is not installed ? Can you send me a bug report using urpmi --bug ? Thanks, François.

OK, thanks to a neat suggestion from misc_ in IRC (thanks), I've tracked it down. Check this out: One of the following packages is needed: 1- XFree86-libs-4.3-8mdk.i586 2- Mesa-5.0.1-3mdk.i586 What is your choice? (1-2) That can't be right! -- adamw
[Cooker] annoying problem trying to update Cooker
Having a real annoying problem trying to update my laptop. When I do an urpmi --auto-select, I just get a list as long as your arm of dependencies on bits of XFree86-libs that would be broken, here's a sample: libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) gtkhtml3.0-3.0.2-2mdk libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) libgimp14-1.3.14-2mdk libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) gimp1_3-1.3.14-2mdk libXrandr.so.2 is needed by (installed) XFree86-4.3-8mdk Etc etc etc. There's over five hundred lines of that, but what it DOESN'T tell me is what I need to know, i.e., what it is that's trying to uninstall XFree86-libs (which is what I presume the problem is). Since it needs to update a lot of packages, going through them individually the find the one that's causing the problem would be a lot of effort on my part, which is irritating. a), does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this, and b), it seems to make the case for some improvement to urpmi output... -- adamw
