Anton, Can't address your specific questions in particular except to say I *think* most of my problems were from my not rebuilding the database after updating. Also I tried to *install* a couple files instead of upgrading them. Doing a 'rpm -qa | sort' showed some duplicate files, (old and new versions). I also think (but don't know for sure) that some mirror sites may be partly at fault. So checking another mirror now and then may be wise. Of course I will probably be a 'newbie' for many years and have much to learn :) Larry On Tuesday 27 March 2001 06:09, you wrote: > I have a sort-of similar problem with rpmdrake. > I've rebuilt /etc/urpmi and /var/lib/urpmi > but I still have the problem. > > It manifests itself like this. > I bring up urpmi and select a package to load from CD. > Click on "Do Install".
