okay, a) install fresh cooker from local copy kept on local hard drive, actually the last time i did this was kernel2.4.16-11 b) remove all sources created by the install i.e. 'installation cd (disk1)' etc, c) create a new ( and now the only) source: #urpmi.addmedia localcooker file://mandrake/cooker/ i don't specify the hdlist.cz file because i want the source to include all rpms under .../Mandrake/
urpmi output lists all the rpms in both ../RPMS and .../RPMS2 but at the end gives 'found xyz headers yady yada, deleted xyx header yada yada', xyz being the same number in both cases d)run, for example: #urpmi glibc or any package name (installed or otherwise) and get the output 'no package by that name' i'm sorry if i was long winded the last time, i'm a bit concerned that i'm taking up your time with this, i now have a situation (explained last post) where urpmi does the job for me, i havent reinstalled cooker recently and i'm loathe to do so just to check f this problem has gone away, to be honest i really only lurk on this list to see if there's stuff i can use as i like the conceit of running a semi-bleeding edge machine, even though as a newbie, it's real computing by the seat of one's pants stuff! if you'd rather drop this and get on with other stuff that's absolutely fine by me, otherwise any thing i can do (on a scale of 1-10 of can-do-ness i'm about 2) just ask bascule On Tuesday 15 January 2002 1:16 pm, you wrote: >If you can send me a scenario how to make urpmi fail, let me known please. > > Thanks, Fran�ois.
