hi charles, i am running cooker with 2.4.16 -11, i did what you described (though i wasn't having exactly the same problem) no joy, urpmi still goes through all of the rpms specified in the command line and at the end it says: found 3424 headers in cache removing 3424 obsolete headers in cache
and leaves me with an 'empty source' is it possible that the functioning of urpmi has changed? adding a source on the net requires specifying a hdlist but locally i like to miss out this so that the source includes all the rpms in cooker i.e.: # urpmi.addmedia localcooker file://mandrake/cooker/ with no mention of a hdlist, is this still meant to work? because i cannot get it to, anyone? bascule On Thursday 27 December 2001 1:41 pm, you wrote: > On Wed, 26 Dec 2001 22:32:17 +0000 > > bascule <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > i hjave been having problems with urpmi not adding/updating sources so i > > uninstalled urpmi and gurpmi and rpmdrake, deleted /var/lib/urpmi and > > /var/cache/urpmi and /etc/urpmi and reinstalled urpmi, gurpmi and > > rpmdrake and ran - as root- : > > # urpmi.addmedia localcooker file://mandrake/cooker/ > > > > the result of which was as follows: > > ---snip----- > > /mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/ziptool-1.3-6mdk.i586.rpm > > /mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/zsnes-1.337-3mdk.i586.rpm > > /mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/zssh-1.5a-1mdk.i586.rpm > > choosing compression method with "gzip -4" for archive > > /var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.localcooker.cz > > real archive size of /var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.localcooker.cz is > > 19880728 > > reading hdlist file [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.localcooker.cz] > > keeping only files referenced in provides > > reading hdlist file [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.localcooker.cz] > > built hdlist synthesis file for medium "localcooker" > > found 3424 headers in cache > > removing 3424 obsolete headers in cache > > write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] > > [root@mycroft RPMS]# > > > > as you can see the 'removing obsolete headers' means that urpmi has > > 'forgotten about all the rpms it has just added to its list as the > > following command shows: > > [root@mycroft RPMS]# urpmi zssh > > no package named zssh > > [root@mycroft RPMS]# > > > > can someone please help me sort this out as urpmi and rpmdrake are > > currently unusable for me > > Is this full Cooker? > > Do not know if this will help in your case but after a clean install of the > Cooker snapshot ISOs rpmdrake would segfault during 'looking for installed > packages' > I was able to correct this by uninstalling, using nodepends, > autoirpm, grpmi, gurpmi, rpmdrake, and urpmi. > I then rebooted the system. > I then installed from the same folder fresh downloads of > autoirpm-3.1-4mdk.i586.rpm > grpmi-8.1-8mdk.i586.rpm > gurpmi-3.1-4mdk.i586.rpm > rpmdrake-1.4-5mdk.i586.rpm > urpmi-3.1-4mdk.i586.rpm > using rpm -ivh *rpm > > rpmdrake now launches and runs without problem. > > > Charles
