i did this. it never touched the /var/lib/urpmi directory. i even
tried deleting and re-adding the two cdroms as sources, but that
doesn't help because:
unable to take medium "CD 1 Installation CD (x86) (cdrom1)" into account
as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.CD 1 Installation CD (x86) (cdrom1)]
exists
unable to take medium "CD 2 2nd Installation CD (x86) (cdrom2)" into
account as
no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.CD 2 2nd Installation CD (x86) (cdrom2)]
exists
i did update rpmdrake to 1.3-52 from the ftp site. surely there's a
way to regenerate /var/lib/urpmi from scratch without doing a reinstall?
