Update Issues

[devnet]

Hiya,

We've had a problem with drakconf these past few days I know...but tonight when I went to upgrade, I was faced with the following on a cli ISO installed.  I've attached the error...it looks like we have a DistEpoch problem again.

no distepoch problem at all.

libpopt0 no longer provides popt and that was virtual provides needed by drakconf

i fixed drakconf upstream, i need to fix my 64bit chroot to fix it at UL.

Thats odd as I tried to install stuff, ie: new udev and I got the
DistEpoch error,
think it was on other stuff too, like new networkmanager, maybe cooker
has become corrupted.

ok i talked to pok.

the dirty fix is this. smart install rpm

it should upgrade rpm librpm54

then do

smart upgrade

[OnlyHuman]

drakconf requires popt (in smart its called popt0)

ok, got past that error now loads of kernel-firmware conflicts, if
remove previous kernel-firmware it removes tons, ie plymouth etc

[OnlyHuman]

smart install unitylinux-iso cant install libalsa-plugins 1.0.25 no
pkg provides libalsa >=1.0.25

[OnlyHuman]

installing unitylinux-control cant install no libltd17-2.4.2-2

[OnlyHuman]

installed mandriva-control-center least that works

[OnlyHuman]

no that failed too same thing, bah

[OnlyHuman]

P.S is mklivecd broke now? mklivecd.2036/ live.mnt failed

[OnlyHuman]

Fatal excecution of mkdir -p /tmp/mklivecd.2036/ live.mnt ; mount -o
loop -t ex2

[OnlyHuman]

unitylinux-iso now installs, but unitylinux-desktop trys to install
but gives error,
file lib/firmware/rt2870.bin from install of rt2870-
firmware-21mdv2011.0 noarch

I will try out the updates to see also if mklivecd is fixed as
couldn't build initrd

ok the two pkgs kernel-firmware and kernel-firmware-extra conflict.
skip this or remove the extra pkg
