Can anyone confirm that MCC/MU works? I have never had MU work since 8.1
Tried messing around with it again tonight and all I get are these
messages on the console:
# 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
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

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
MCC does manage to get a list of mirrors; but when I select one, all I get
on the console is:
medium "update_source" already exists
and a popup that contains:
[Error adding update medium]
There was an error while adding the update medium via urpmi.
This may be due to a broken or temporary unavailable mirror, or when
your
Mandrake Linux version (9.0) is not yet / no more supported by Mandrake
Linux Official Updates.
Do you want to try another mirror?
EVERY mirror I try gives the same error...
/var/lib/urpmi contains (after 8.2->9.0 upgrade):
# ll /var/lib/urpmi
total 32944
