------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-26-08 02:46 ------- AFAIK, kpackage is not intended to be used this way. Use rpmdrake or urpmi, ie: # urpmi.update -a # urpmi --auto-select Please see http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/CookerHowTo for more info on how to run cooker. If you want a GUI, rpmdrake may be able to do this too (but it's much easier to run urpmi from cron when you sleep and read the logs later). I think this bug is invalid, but I am not sure, so I won't set it as so yet ... -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: After pulling down all of the latest cooker packages, I opened kpackage in order to see what was new and to then install them, however kpackage isnt "seeing" any of the updated packages - by this I mean if I click on any of the "Update" "New" or "All" tabs, the recently downloaded files aren't there with the "U" beside them. I've tried clearing out the two caches, I've even copied all the rpms to a different directory and reconfigured kpackage with the new directory, all to no avail. An example of whats happening: After synching with my local cooker mirror, kpackage is showing the following two packages as being updated: gftp and suspend-scripts. However, if I get a list of all installed rpms and compare that to a list of all the .rpm files I've got on disk, the result looks something like this: RPM INSTALLED FILE ON DISK drakxtools-9.2-0.33mdk drakxtools-9.2-0.35mdk.i586.rpm drakxtools-newt-9.2-0.33mdk drakxtools-newt-9.2-0.35mdk.i586.rpm gftp-2.0.14-5mdk gftp-2.0.15-1mdk.i586.rpm glibc-2.3.2-11mdk glibc-2.3.2-12mdk.i586.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.2-11mdk glibc-devel-2.3.2-12mdk.i586.rpm harddrake-9.2-0.33mdk harddrake-9.2-0.35mdk.i586.rpm harddrake-ui-9.2-0.33mdk harddrake-ui-9.2-0.35mdk.i586.rpm initscripts-7.06-18mdk initscripts-7.06-19mdk.i586.rpm kdebase-3.1.3-26mdk kdebase-3.1.3-31mdk.i586.rpm kdebase-common-3.1.3-26mdk kdebase-common-3.1.3-31mdk.i586.rpm kdebase-kdm-3.1.3-26mdk kdebase-kdm-3.1.3-31mdk.i586.rpm kdebase-kdm-config-file-3.1.3-26mdk kdebase-kdm-config-file-3.1.3-31mdk. i586.rpm Please note this is only a small sample - I have many more rpms installed that have newer versions on disk but kpackage isnt picking them up.
