Hi, everyone.

Has anyone been able to use the Software Manager to update packages in LM 8.0?
I am able to install packages from the installation CDs, but whenever I try to
add a source for updates, it gets ignored.

That is, when I hit "Reload lists" only CD 1 and CD 2 get analysed and not the
online resource. I have tried the "Security Updates", "ftp" and "http" types of
sources, all with the same results. I have also tried it with machines that have
been upgraded and machines with fresh installs.

The only clue I can provide is that when I run rpmdrake from the command
line I get a bunch (>150) bad format errors, e.g.

compssUsers.flat: bad format

I know there are updates (nedit and gftp, for example) but I can't see them
with rpmdrake. Have I forgotten something?

Thanks,
