Subject: [expert] Can't update Mandrake anymore with rpmdrake

Hi,

Yesterday, I had planned to update my server (Mandrake 9.0) with the latest patches.
I ran the Configuration panel and the "Update software" (rpmdrake). It told me it was going to connect to a server to download the update list... and then
that the update list was empty, 'cause I must have installed all the versions or 'cause there is no update available !!!

I disabled the current update source, so, then, it asked me to choose a mirror server : for each of them, I have the same error.
I connected with ftp to one of this mirror. I guested the hdlist.cz file is used to find the content... it's empty !

If I ran
urpmi -va
I get a list (but I don't know how to control what I want to install)

I ran rpmdrake from a terminal window, and on the output, it says an error occurred while downloading hdlist.cz (not sure when, but I can send you the log)

I found an article on Mandrake support which advise to run
urpmi.update cdrom8

but I still have the trouble....


Please, help !

Thanks a lot !
