It seems Mandriva is up to their usual tricks of changing the paths on the
mirrors with no warning. I noticed it on Proxad when I started getting errors
trying to update. It'll probably hit the other mirrors soon enough if it
hasn't already. All of the "MandrakeLinux" directories have been moved to
"MandrivaLinux" (would've thought that was done long ago, but it wasn't). For
example, updates moved from:
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrakeLinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates
to:
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates
EasyUrpmi was still giving the broken paths, so I sent an email to trem.
Funny thing is, I'm getting updates now, but I'm still getting the error that
led me to the problem in the first place:
retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "updates"...
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/media_info/hdlist.cz
computing md5sum of retrieved source hdlist (or synthesis)
...retrieving done
...
medium "updates" uses an invalid list file:
mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method
And then I got 5 updates installed. Don't know what's up with that.

I got that error yesterday when I was trying to update Firefox - as the
other thread shows, I ended by buggering it up. I was able to download
the latest version, but then that message would come up and it wouldn't
install and my original version was somehow trashed. This may be pure
coincidence though
cheers,
Graham
