I think I have a similar problem as Pablo, in that some packages appear in the list that don't seem to exist. Also, MandrakeUpdate also fails to actually install my packages, as described before and by [EMAIL PROTECTED] in his recent email. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If not, check with grep i586 /var/lib/urpmi/depslist.ordered, you should get a log of output. If problem exists for removable CD hdlist, try removing and adding them again. I've only cooker medium. Could I just copy the /var/lib/urpmi/* of working system? Yes, but it should already be the case? François.

Well, I tried to have only cooker medium, but at the point when I removed all of the sources and tried to add only a cooker source, rpmdrake crashed on me. Futhermore, how would I add the installation media under the same names the install program uses? In any case, to get around it I just booted off of the cd and chose upgrade, and it added my installation media back in, but I'd like to know what script it is running to do that. Also urpmi.addmedia -a -f says it can't find a dependencies file, besides, how would this fix anything as long as the cd installation media are still listed.

Pablo Saratxaga wrote: Kaixo! there seems to be a problem... is that known? and how could I fix it? Thanks I see a couple other problems as well: 1.) koffice and gaim are incorrectly listed as needing updating. This is because of some weird versioning scheme with gaim (e.g. gaim 0.11.0pre7 is not greater that 0.11.0pre11 -- does urpmi check the Serial?). For koffice, the koffice on the installation CD is 2.0.1, and in cooker it's 1.1. Obviously numerically 2.0.1 1.1, but a serial might help this. 2.) If you select some packages to upgrade in MandrakeUpdate and click Install, if the login fails (i.e. Too Many Users on FTP), it still attempts to install the file (which obviously doesn't exist). The GUI then erases the files from the tree as if they were installed (when they clearly weren't). I think that urpmi is supposed to try to login after a failed login (or warn the user about it), not assume that the file was successfully downloaded.
