Hello Richard,

Have a look in /var/cache/urpmi/ and /var/cache/urpmi/rpms directorys,
and you may see either 0 bytes files or incomplete downloads, just
delete them and try again..yes this will also cause a problem in
8.2..  if the PC locks, or something happens during the update process..

Cheers
Mark

Don't know if this will help but I remember there beinga  serious
problem with LM8.1  Man.Updater.  You may consider using 8.2 instead.

Not a flying clue.  This is coming from Nutscrape  its email client in
winblows.

Haven't been booting linux to play lately. You'll have to let me know if
that continues if i post from Sylpheed sometime soon.

Re: [expert] Mdk Update Locking!

2002-04-25 Thread Jim Dewar

i was trying to update my machine from 8.0 to 8.2 but both update and update 
packages only fail. it complains about fsck error.
which is weird since 8.0 boots fine. 
fsck runs if i don't shutdown properly and fixes whatever shows up without 
error.

any thoughts?

i am loathe to do a clean install. it took me so long to get kde and all my 
other stuff set up how i like them.
