Somebody scribbled about Re: [expert] urpmi lccked
There is a problem with the gui frontend to urpmi.addmedia that is fixed in an upcoming drakxtools:
I see the problem, and the proposed fix. The issue now is a catch-22 one.
I can't add any sources, so I can't get the new patch to drakxtools to add sources. See the problem?
As I said, the problem with the gui does not (for me) preclude using the command line urpmi.addmedia. It might help to replace the files you deleted with a reinstall of the package that owns them, if the urpmi.addmedia command doesn't generate them.
I attempted to do as you suggest but All that accomplishes is that it copies the names of the hdlists files over into /var/cache/urpmi/partial
and then fails with a 'urpmi database locked' --- how is it possible to unlock it? am i toast?
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* ?
Did you urpmi.removemedia -a ?
