After having the palm/mandrake 9.1 sync working well for a week or so with
Kpilot I seem to have bolluxed it up by trying a sync with Evolution.
Instead of transfer-pilot (or whatever the name of the Kpilot deamon is)
it's now using gnome-pilot.
And it's not working, so after playing around with it a bit, I decided that
I'd mucked it up enough to deinstall the gnome-pilot stuffs and reinstall
them. Used MCC to remove everything with 'pilot' in it, and tried to use
MCC to install evoluton-pilot. This spurs the system to add about 4
necessary additional packages, which was fine with me. But after a brief
period of apparent file transferring I get the following warning:
"Signature libgnome-pilot1-0.1.71-3.1DK.i586.rpm not correct, continue
anyway?" to which I say "yeah". Then there's an error "Could not read
signature block ('rpmReadSignature' failed)", and finally an error that the
file is corrupt. I've tried this 3 times over a 12 hour period, so it's
not some transitory error.
I have distro cdrom 2 in the drive, and am using dresden for main, usc for
contrib, ibiblio for updates (never any in 3 weeks -- does that seem
right?), and zarb for plf. Is this error telling me that the files are
corrupt at the source? Which source is it? (I didn't have any problem
with the cdrom at installation - but I seem to remember there was a CDROM
access error in dmesg . . . )
By the way, with no obvious deamons runnning, dropping the palm (Kyocera
7135 Smartphone) in the cradle and hitting the hotsync button on the
cradle, nothing appears to happen at the desktop, but the palm does some
synching stuff (not all, just the stuff that was set up in gnome-pilot).
As a semi-unrelated question -- when I just try to synch while in Evolution
it seems ok until it errors out "unable to open gnome-cal". What should I
look for there?
Thanks,
Max
