Update_source


When I try to update MD9.2 for security updates from MCC, it spits out fatal error "A fatal error update_source already exists." What is the problem and how can I fix it? I have already done the update on urpmi. Thanks.

Can you give more details. How have you configured urpmi? have you changed the file /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg by hand?
Are you trying to install more packages contemporary?

You can configure urpmi on http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/, if that's the problem.
