Shouldn't that have been done by 9.0...? I've always done rpm -ivh
installs in the past... thought I'd try the other tools; but MCC gave me
grief, and now urpmi...
My point is that with 9.0, Mandrake seems to be paying less attention to
those little details that will tick off the new users they're trying to
attract. Don't get me wrong; I'm a strong Mandrake supporter; but at
least one release in every major release (since 6.x) are less new user
friendly than the others. Hope 9.0 is the only one in the 9.x series...

man urpmi.removemedia states:
names is a list of names you first told to urpmi.addmedia
but, I never used urpmi.addmedia; Mdk did that... all I did was format
the HD, install 8.2 and update it to 9.0... so I don't know the magic
incantation that's expected... the error gives me the feeling that the
tools won't help...
I tried moving the 8.2 file out of /var/lib/urpmi but that didn't help
either.

did you delete the 8.2 entries from urpmi's config?
Shouldn't that have been done by 9.0...? I've always done rpm -ivh
installs in the past... thought I'd try the other tools; but MCC gave me
grief, and now urpmi...

Anyway, unless there is some implied version info, there is nothing
specifying version in this (unless I'm blind):
One thing about urpmi that doesn't thrill me is that its configuration
is split between /etc/urpmi and /var/lib/urpmi and it's consequently
fairly difficult to configure without using a tool. If you look around
in /var/lib/urpmi you'll find that it has information about the contents
of the disks there, which is why you really should just delete the
entries for the 8.2 disks.
um don't forget /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg .. need to remove the
entries there or you will keep getting errors about not being able to
find disks when you are doing searches. best method
man urpmi.removemedia
HOWEVER whatever you do do not ... repeat do not ,type
urpmi.removemedia and hit return (without any args)... this is a lot
like typing rm -Rf * you never know what you will lose.

I agree in principle, but I also feel that if this were truly the case, backing up and restoring /etc/urpmi/ or mailing someone an entry from /etc/urmpi/urpmi.cfg should be enough to get a working system. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
