[newbie] urpmi can't locate URPM.pm
Hi everyone, this is my first cry for help on the newbie list. I was tinkering with mandrake 10.1 and decided to upgrade to the cooker source. So I updated my urpmi sources and began to install. Shortly into the process the power failed because my PSU has gone dodgy. Now when I try anything with urpmi, I get the following error. Can't locate URPM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/urpm.pm line 16.

In /usr/lib/perl5 are directories for 5.8.5 and 5.8.6, the file urpm.pm does not exist as far as I can see. So the big question! Can I fix this or will I have to make a fresh install? Any help you can offer is much appreciated. Steven Carrie Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

You're looking at a fresh install from my experience. It took me about 2 hours to find out that I could have re-installed faster then fixing the problem. Your problem occurred because urpmi tried to upgrade Perl, which is required for urpmi as well as MCC and a whack of other apps. It will be a lot less painful and faster to re-install. Just make sure that you don't let the installer touch your /home partition. It's OK if it wants to create a mount point for it, but that should be all. Hope that helps. I can sympathize with your situation since I went through the same thing. Good luck. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
