Hi
I posted this query to the newbie list but have had no takers so if
anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful:
I used the script in the club pages to set up urpmi for updates,
commercial apps, contributions and PLF files.I now want to install
mplayer and when using the software manager it tells me that everything
is already installed
If you have any /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* files (when no rpm process is
running), delete them and run rpm --rebuilddb. Also, look at the
erratum for this error in 'Errata', linked off the www.mandrakelinux.com
main page
- it certainly isn't, I've checked thoroughly. So,
I tried text mode in a terminal - "urpmi mplayer" and I get a list of
files to be installed, is that OK? I hit "Y" and the installation
aborts, saying that a number of files aren't found. I'm also getting an
error saying "unable to take medium 'Update for Mandrake Linux 9.0
(ftpiu)' into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Updates for
Mandrake Linux 9.0 (ftpiu)]exists."
If the previous two points aren't it, I would look in sources management
of software manager whether these sources exist. I get such an error
for hd installs, recently, and have to add the sources manually. My
next suggestion would be to delete and re-add the broken sources.
This is a reinstall of LM 9.0 and I didn't have these problems before -
I can't think that I've done anything different, so any suggestions
would be gratefully received!
Thanks
David
