Just updating my Cooker with rpmdrake, I upgraded Evolution to 1.0.8. However, the devel package for 1.0.8 wasn't there when I grabbed the packages. It seemed to freeze during installation for a while, so I looked at the console rpmdrake was installing from; urpmi had detected that the 1.0.7 -devel package needed to be removed, which makes sense, but it was asking for output on the console - rpmdrake wasn't saying anything, just sitting there. Shouldn't rpmdrake itself pick up this problem and ask for the user's decision itself? If you weren't running from a console, you'd be stuck. Exact console message from urpmi (or whatever's actually running at this point, must admit i'm slightly hazy on the inner workings of the whole urpmi/gurpmi/rpmdrake combination):
rpm2header /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/libevolution0-1.0.8-1mdk.i586.rpm/var/cache/urpmi/rpms/libevolution0-1.0.8-1mdk.i586.rpm Some packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded: evolution-devel-1.0.7-1mdk do you agree? (Y/n) cya. -- adamw
