I might agree, except I really am trying to help, I am not an expert with either Linux, or the Mandrake tools, and I don't know what urpmi --bug is, since it is not list in man urpmi. Typing urpmi --bug told me everything was installed. I am running the current cooker, which should be obvious from the list of files that were updated, and I have the latest urpmi loaded, since it was not in the list of files that urpmi upgraded.
I had very little time to look at things tonight, and dashed off a hurried note. There was much useful informaton contained in it, even if it was not everything it could have been. You know that urpmi decided to uninstall something that was working fine, and not replace it with a newer package. You know that urpmi didn't ask permission to uninstall those packages. You know that I immediately was allowed to install the packages that urpmi removed with no problems, meaning the uninstall was definitely an error. There was really a great deal of information in my message, even if it was not perfect. I wanted everyone to know that such a problem had happened, and warn them that it might happen to them as well. The package versions are: [EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]# rpm -q urpmi urpmi-4.4-9mdk [EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]# rpm -q rpm rpm-4.2-12mdk I develop software for a living, just like you do (although not Linux), and I know I didn't have everything that could be useful included, but there was a lot of good information.
