Eric Jackson You need to change this command; urpmi.addmedia myrpms file://home/frank/MYRPMS so that it reads like this; urpmi.addmedia myrpms file:///home/frank/MYRPMS Urpmi needs to see 2 slashes after the URL descriptor so that it can read it like a URL as well as 1 extra slash which is the leading slash you would normally use when browsing through folders via a CLI. In other words, file:// - notated like an HTTP or FTP address, and then the absolute path of the actual folder /home/frank/MYRPMS which equals the example noted above. That's assuming that the folder MYRPMS was named using all capital letters, of course. Also, did you run genhdlist inside of that folder? I haven't been following this thread, so I don't know if someone suggested it yet. In case you don't know, genhdlist will generate the hdlist.cz file that urpmi requires. So, after running genhdlist,

Sorry for jumping in on this thread put I thought to keep the subject matter relevant. I just tried adding a local source as you descibed above, and all turned out well. I used some rpms I downloaded. Could it possibly be something wrong with the rpms themselves. I think rpm looks at the rpm's header for info to generate the hdlist. Maybe download some different rpm's in a new directory and try adding them as locale source to see if it works. Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] urpmi problem
I wanted to install an updated version of Imlib2 (see 'Python help' thread). At first, I built it, made a checkinstall RPM, did an rpm -Uvh new Imlib2, and it installed okay. Then I realized I had built it without using --prefix=/usr (bangs head against table, table breaks). So, I uninstalled it with 'rpm -e --nodeps', intending to rebuild imlib2 properly and reinstall.

Thanks all! Joe, did you do rpm --rebuilddb updatedb before you tried the reinstall. It might be that the old headers (?) need to be cleaned out. HTH It's fixed now, ie., I have a way to back off the change to version 1.1.2 and urpmi the 'official' MDK version. Done it twice now, in fact, just to make sure ;-) Turns out, AFAICT, that the old 'medium contrib uses an invalid list' error was the stumbling block. It could be coincidence, but once I got rid of that error (been meaning to do that for awhile...) and ran 'urpmi.update -a -c -f rpm --rebuilddb updatedb ldconfig -v', all behaved as it should. Thanks to all who replied, and esp. to Charlie who replied to me offlist and got me to finally nix that 'contrib' warning. Urpmi is weird and wonderful, tha's fer sure. As an aside, if I install the Mandrake RPM for libimlib2, PyPanel 2.0 still runs (though it shouldn't) and so does Eterm, but not Esetroot.

I'm having a problem with a media entry in urpmi. I keep getting this error when running urpmi: unable to take medium Z2main into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Z2main] exists I did have a medium at one time named Z2main, however I removed it with urpmi.removemedia. I checked my urpmi.cfg file and it does not list Z2main as a medium. I also went into Mandrake Control Center, Software Management, Software Media Manager and there is no entry in that either for Z2main. At this point I have no idea how to remove this ghost entry from urpmi. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Try this:
Firstly, back up /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and delete the original. Then run
rpmdrake and use the GUI to configure new sources. Then try urpmi again.
No joy resulted. The extraneous messages remain. The urpmi.cfg file now looks
like this:

rpmi.removemedia trying to remove the problem media, I got the same
messages urpmi gives. I show these error messages below. Further down I
show the files that actually exist in the direcotry /var/lib/urpmi/.
Can somebody show me how to remove these annoying message that come from
urpmi?
Hi Sridhar,
This is all there is in that file (I see nothing that looks related to the
extraneous messages):
ger2 {
hdlist: hdlist.ger2.cz
with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist.cz
list: list.ger2
}
update_source {
hdlist: hdlist.update_source.cz
with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist.cz
list: list.update_source
update
}
rmpdir file://mnt/fat_32/rpmdir {
hdlist: hdlist.rmpdir.cz
list: list.rmpdir
}
us1 {
hdlist: hdlist.us1.cz
with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist.cz
list: list.us1
}

Hi,
When I use urpmi I keep getting the message that some media files do not
exist. In an attempt to eliminate those messages, I used

Try this:
Firstly, back up /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and delete the original. Then run rpmdrake
and use the GUI to configure new sources. Then try urpmi again.
