Re: odd gurpmi problem
Thanks. I took both bits of advice. rebuilt the rpm database twice, then ran 'urpmi --clean'. now it works again! :) -i

Most of the time "urpmi --clean" works. Best Olivier

I got the same problem a few times, but I can't exactly remember how I recovered from them. Each time it happened because I interrupted a long process of upgrades through urpmi. I guess this is a problem of little-endian/big-endian mismatch somewhere because I never had this issue with x86. Anyway, try to rebuild your rpm database a few times, it might help to solve the problem: $ rpm --rebuilddb Also try to upgrade (by hand) urpmi and its dependencies (perl-URPM, rpm...), and rebuild the database with the new tools. The cooker version I run seems to be immune to this problem... I hope this will help you, Regards, -- Brice
odd gurpmi problem
hi, anyone know what this could be? i just get this error and can't install anything via rpmdrake: perl: rpmio_internal.h:447: c2f: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 0x04463138' failed. Aborted i get the same message if i just run gurpmi at the command line. manually installing rpms at the command line works though. TIA
