In previous posts I mentioned that urpmi continually failed on my
machine
since I updated to 8beta. I think I have discovered what the problem
was:
I have the files for cooker in a directory called
/home/downloads/cooker
and /home is a separate partition. During the installation when I
chose
that partition I told the installer it was in downloads/cooker on that
partition. I uninstalled urpmi and dependents and reinstalled it and
created new lists and now it works.

I believe the problem is it was looking for the packages in
downloads/cooker which is a subdirectory of /home and it wasn't aware
of
that. Any ideas or thoughts on that?

Unfortunately fixing this didn't fix my rpmdrake segfault. It's still
there. Anyone interested in a coredump?
