<SIGH> If anyone asks why I don't keep my systems upgraded... the answer is simple: MandrakeUpdate has not worked for me since LM8.1 </SIGH>
Tonight, I've been trying to update 9.0 on my ThinkPad... Problems: * unable to connect to mirrors MOST of the time. * decided to try to upgrade harddrake first -- after a couple of attempts (getting connect failures on some packages), I got a *Succeeded* message; YET... # rpm -qa | grep harddrake harddrake-ui-1.1.9-53mdk harddrake-1.1.9-53mdk # ls /mnt/cdrom/M*/R*/harddrake* /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/harddrake-1.1.9-53mdk.i586.rpm* /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/harddrake-ui-1.1.9-53mdk.i586.rpm* Looks like the SAME version to me -- AKA: NOT upgraded. * at some point, MU decided that it would pick one mirror and quit asking. Reset this via S/w Sources Mgr * Now, no matter which mirror I select, I'm now unable to connect to any; I keep getting: # unable to take medium "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)" into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)] exists medium "update_source" already exists ---> 8.2????????? I can understand the odd error; but this looks like MU's error handling wasn't even tested... Pierre
