[Cooker] urpmi (gurpmi?) problem
Hello all, this is my first post to the list cooker ... and is to inform about some problems I'm having with MandrakeUpdate. I'm now using Mandrake Cooker, I upgraded from mandrake 8.1 a couple of days ago. My intention was to use some packages in Cooker in my laptop running 8.1, but since MandrakeUpdate didn't work properly, I upgraded to Cooker in the hope it would solve that issue. The main problem was a coredump when doing an update, but in Cooker I'm getting the same problem too. Yesterday I also upgraded (by searching the packages in MandrakeUpdate) to urpmi-3.1-5mdk, gurpmi-3.1-5mdk and rpmdrake-1.4-6mdk. And I have now and additional problem, now it tries to download the lists with curl (I think it used wget before). curl is reporting a problem in the arguments passed and cannot download package lists. So, what's better ? to delete those packages and reinstall them manually? to edit some config file and made again wget the download tool by default ? And how about that coredump I'm getting when I do an update ? Thanks a lot, and I'm sorry for reporting so many problems in my first post to the list ... ;-) Regards, josé manuel.

I know it ... my intention is to fammiliarize with cooker first and then to
develop any packages I find interesting ... ie: develop and test ;-)
These are just my first steps with Cooker ... I'll try don't to make dumb
questions ... ;-)
You need rpmtools updated, rpm too problably, make sure everything is
up-to-date in fact.
Ok, I did it ... everything seemed to be up to date ...
Upgrade curl too.
curl is up to date too ... curl-7.9.2-2mdk and libcurl2-7.9.2-2.mdk, at least, these
are the packages at the ftp.sunet.se mirror ...
You still can use wget (even if curl is installed) by adding --wget to
command line or by removing curl (if possible).
Fine! ... that was the solution, I had to remove curl, and then I removed
the lists (using MandrakeUpdate, not manually) and made a new one
source list from ftp.sunet.se ... perhaps it was a corrupt file ... :-?
And how about that coredump I'm getting when I do an update ?
What is your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg ? and output of ls -l /var/lib/urpmi ?
Now, after the first problem has been solved, the 'coredump' continues:
- urpmi.cfg file
ftp.sunet.se {
hdlist: hdlist.ftp.sunet.se.cz
with_hdlist: synthesis.hdlist.cz
list: list.ftp.sunet.se
synthesis
}
--
and ...
-- ls -l/var/lib/urpmi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13973 ene 3 16:53 compssUsers.flat
-rw--- 1 root root 246185 ene 11 16:47 list.ftp.sunet.se
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 132349 ene 11 08:06
synthesis.hdlist.ftp.sunet.se.cz
---
It happens when I try to make a complete update (the right button in
Mandrake Update), or the 'update wizard' when I start MandrakeUpdate.
If I have enough time this weekend, I'll try to analize the core file by myself ...
The problem would be not to report them at all, or the best is to fix by
yourself and send me the patch.
Thanks, François ... that's the spirit in such a development and testin'
list ...
best regards,
jose.

Problably much more to remove the list file instead of curl, can you use back curl, it should be running. For the core, what version of rpmdrake are you using ? The last too ? François.

I thought it was a problem in curl ... but not, you were right ... For the core, what version of rpmdrake are you using ? The last too ? rpmdrake-1.4-6mdk ... the latest from ftp.sunet.se ... thanks a lot! jose.
