------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-12 05:53 ------- I had the same problem (with urpmi-4.2-16_90mdk/perl-URPM-0.81-7_90mdk), and I've just figured out what's going on. It's a combination of two things, neither of which is really a software bug (though, as always, the error messages could be more clear). 1) The Mandrake Club mirrors page (http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?name=Mirrors) gives old data for the PLF sites. 2) The PLF mirrors have an old (Sept 2002) "list" file in the wrong place. For example, the mirror page gives the urpmi setup for plf.chem.yorku.ca as: urpmi.addmedia plf_plf.chem.yorku.ca_i586_9.0 ftp://plf.chem.yorku.ca/pub/plf/9.0/i586/ with ../hdlist.cz This will make urpmi look for the hdlist.cz file in the right place, but it will pick up the "list" file from the i586 directory, and that list file is way out of date. As a result, urpmi will not find the most recent version of the packages listed in the "list" file and will think it can't find them at all. The correct version of the "list" file is apparently in the same directory as the hdlist.cz file. In other words, the correct urpmi configuration should be: urpmi.addmedia plf_plf.chem.yorku.ca_i586_9.0 ftp://plf.chem.yorku.ca/pub/plf/9.0/ with ./hdlist.cz That one works! ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I went to install Xine from rpmdrake this evening and came a across an error, "everything is already installed (is this suppose to happen at all?)" so i did a rpm -q on the package but it could not be found. maybe it's the source I thought, so I rebuild the source and same error.
