In the four years or so I've been a newbie, I haven't been this frustrated. What's really a pain is that I don't really like oo but I'm pretty hardheaded.
I have added every club mirror, made sure that they were enabled one at a time, and did a rpmi.update -a --wget && urpmi -v --auto-select --wget All updates were installed except oo, which was listed. I went through the same process with each mirror, one at a time, with the same result. I don't expect to be spoon fed and in fact enjoy a meaningful challenge, but can't stand stupidity from myself or anyone else. I don't understand why urpmi can't be configured to recognize it's own failure and move to the next mirror on my list and try there. My two hour venture in futility could have been reduced to a simple, "Oh well, looks like oo isn't available right now." and gone on to something less exasperating. Guarantee a newbi newbi would have just assumed mdk was a screwup and gone on to another distro or back to the evil empire. FWIW Lee
