I have done an hd.img install of 8.2 which lacked the symbolic link from the RPMS directory to the contrib directory, the link being called RPMS2. The install proceeded well, except at the end libmetakit, gnome-guile, flightgear, kwintv, openuniverse, sylpheed, etc were reported as "An error occurred...". These are all located in the contrib directory.
So I created the missing link and reran the install, choosing "update packages only". _None_ of the aforementioned packages were installed!!! What did I do wrong? How does one get the missing packages installed? -- Ron. [au]
