update_source is the name assigned to the default update source for urpmi. It's the place it looks when the --update option is used in urpmi. eg urpmi.update --update #Checks for new updates urpmi --update --auto-select #installs new updates. You should set delete updates and Change update_source to point to. ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/mandrake/official/updates/10.0/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz Chad > Contrib > > ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/mandrake/official/10.0/contrib/i58 >6/ with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz > > and > Main > ftp://ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz/pub/dist/mandrake/official/10.0/i586/Mandra >ke/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz > > Chad wrote: > >Robert Fisher wrote: > >>Try deleting the update source and then adding it again and trying > >>again. > > > >Use Menu > System > Configuration > Packaging > Software Media Manager (Or > >something like that) to delete the update source and any other old RPM > >sources eg the 9.2 CD's.
