Heya, I just had a problem adding a new resource with rpmdrake. It would go through and add the resource, but would only use the Synthetic. I'm on a fast enough connection and prefer the full list.
This had started happening earlier... narrowed it down to curl: --------------------------------------------------------------- [root@luna justus]# urpmi.addmedia "Contrib" ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 with ../base/hdlist2.cz added medium Contrib retrieving description file of "Contrib"... curl: (19) Failed to open file. retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "Contrib"... curl: (9) Couldn't cd to pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/../base ...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 9 or signal 0 retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "Contrib" unable to update medium "Contrib" --------------------------------------------------------------- Usually this would go through and search and eventually find the Synthetic. Anyway, to get to the point. I removed curl (curl2-7.9.4-3mdk) and it worked without any problems. Not sure if this comes directly from curl or the way that it is called by urpmi. Hope this helps :) Justin T
