I am by no means an urpmi expert, but I have had my share of bad experiences with some of these processes, enough to dare a couple of suggestions, mostly related to the access to the Internet for these updates:
- what type of proxying (or are you nat-ing?) are you using? - look up /etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg --> do you have any entries there? Are they correct (they should be in the form - if needed - http_proxy=<socks_server_IP>:1080 - obviously if using a proxy server for http awaiting on 1080TCP, or a socks server awaiting on same port - look up the same info under proxy setup in mcc - try to run with wget, instead of the default curl, i.e.: # urpmi<.whatever> --wget <whatever> - lookup the /etc/wgetrc and see if you have passive_ftp=on commented out, or not --> choose what is appropriate to your method of connecting to the 'net - try to update sources via de GUI (mcc), and see if they fail ... watch the messages in the shell you launched mcc from (#mcc&) HTH, Stef On Tuesday 31 December 2002 01:46 pm, richard bown wrote: > On Tue, 2002-12-31 at 19:08, Charles A Edwards wrote: > > These are the correct version But they are not as you had listed in your > > first post and they all can be auto-installed using Mandrake Update (I > > did on my 9.0 system without problem.) > > Here steams the problem Charles, mandrake update is not working on this > machine, and this is what I've been trying without success to fix. > No matter which site I select All I ever get is this message:- > > "there was an error while adding the update medium via urpmi > This may be due to a broken or temp. unavailable mirror, or when your > Mandrake Linux version 9.0 is not yet/no more supported by Mandrake > Linux official updates > do you want to try another mirror ?" <snip>
