Nope. I find buggy that I selected everything in the individual package selection except non-english packages, and the following didn't get installed : sshd, AfterStep-1.8.8-1mdk alsaplayer-0.99.32-13mdk alsa-utils-0.5.10-2mdk ami-1.0.9-1mdk ami-gnome-1.0.9-1mdk Apache-ASP-2.00-3mdk apache-devel-1.3.14-4mdk ... etc etc etc . don't you find such behavior buggy ? looking at your diff, i see many packages that should not be installed and feel the current behaviour is better. not if I specifically asked for every package (I hope they were listed on the individual selections !) of course quite a few good packages are missing. Tell me about them, or better send me a patch for the rpmsrate :) I haven't thought of what packages are missing in the RPMS directory, my only concern was that I've selected every package shown in the individual selector, yet there were so many not installed !

Re: [Cooker] 1.457 expert PCMCIA/HD install : missing many packages
Hmm, could it be that my Mandrake/base/*list* was not in sync with Mandrake/RPMS/* ? Would such state cause the behavior described ? How do I find out whether it is / was in sync ? If I rsynced against primary site, why wouldn't it be in sync ? On Sat, 17 Mar 2001, Pixel wrote: Jan Vicherek [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Nope.

I didn't check what was there and what wasn't I've been checking everything and only filtering out what had contained the ...-xx- language extension. So I don't know whether apache-devel was listed on the individual pkg selection list.

So I don't know whether apache-devel was listed on the individual pkg selection list. that explains. In the tree selection, AfterStep is not there. The only way to select it is to toggle to flat list where all packages are there. Hmm, the fact the tree list and the flat list don't have indentical set looks to me like something that needs fixing, right ? Or is there a solid idea as to why shouldn't these lists be identical, or at least very close ? (execpt maybe HW-specifics, like Xfree drivers, etc) ?

(execpt maybe HW-specifics, like Xfree drivers, etc) ? i could add a "All other packages" node, but i'm not sure it would be good. The basic idea is to keep people from installing everything. Apparently it's not clear that the tree/flat lists are not equivalent. Please either make them equivalent or make it obvious that they are not. I think that would avoid some unpleasant surprises.
