Ok today came the security update for openssl and my mirror has it (i
checked) it has the same name as the installed package only a ".1" is added
at the end of the name mandrake update wont see this it actually appeared in
the "installed" section of mandrakeupdate but if i do a :
# rpm -qa | grep openssl
openssl-0.9.6-7mdk
(MandrakeUpdate shows both as installed)
it is NOT installed so i downloaded it manually and did :
rpm -Uvh openssl-0.9.6-7.1mdk.i586.rpm
and it updated fine .
I mentioned this problem before cause i think it is important, cause it
renders MandrakeUpdate absolutely useless since it is made for security
updates .
So we will have to leave MandrakeUpdate to the developers and get back to
comandline and kpackage ... sad cause i think MandrakeUpdate is a great idea
for a prog.
If im missing something here please tell it to me cause i LOVE MandrakeUpdate
and i would really like to use it.
Btw. the update funktion in SNF still shows me an empty list even tho a few
updates have been released since i installed it.
Cheers
