Hey guys, im having some trouble with urpmi right now... Iwas trying to install sendmail this morning, to which i got a segfault, so then i tough maybe updating urpmi media would help, so i tried removing media and i got the same errors..

[root@localhost andres]# urpmi.removemedia -a
unable to access hdlist file of "updates", medium ignored
unable to access hdlist file of "main", medium ignored
unable to access hdlist file of "contrib", medium ignored
removing medium "updates"
removing medium "main"
removing medium "contrib"
Segmentation fault

Is there anything i can do or basicly need to reinstall?

Thanks guys!

Dont know if this has anything to do with it but i go to webmin in the bootup/shutdown part and i get this error...

Can't locate File/Glob.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libexec/webmin /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/libexec/webmin/init/index.cgi line 24.

Dont know if perl has anything to do with it but i do remember updating perl over the weekend...

Thanks for the help!

Did you upgrade urpmi or perl recently? If you did then try reinstalling urpmi or those perl packages.

i did reinstall perl over the weekend but i gues something went wrong..
but now with urpmi down, how can i reistall perl? I am kinda new to linux and still trying
to firgure out lots of stuff!

Thanks!

Sorry I missed you post above about perl because I had several tabs opened and didn't refresh yours before answering. You need to go to a Mandriva updates mirror and install the perl packages from there.

I went to the mirrors but cant seem to find anything suitable.
I also tried reinstalling mandriva but it stalls at the installation stage.

Im kinda new to linux so that may be why i cant fix this! hehe
Any other tips?

Thanks!

Try going to http://rpm.pbone.net and searching for the original perl package for your Mandriva version. You might have some trouble downgrading the perl package, but you should be able to trick him. By problems I mean dependency issues and stuff.

I've had the same problems, starting from mcc not starting up, locking up at the splash screen, various modules segfaulting, rpmdrake crashing when trying to search/select/display info about a package, and the list goes on. I ran drakconf.real through perl's debugger and surprise... worked juts fine.

It seems I've been having this problems ever since I've done a major update to the system [cooker - 681 packages]. I also noticed some core components were unchanged (urpmi, drakconf, a.s.o) so this might be a perl problem. Fresh installs didn't solve the issue. [cooker/x86_64]
