Fedora add package failure

techrolla · 11-23-2003, 09:35 PM

Whenever I try to add new packages from fedora and the cds, right when its about to install, it quits with an error. I installed with these cds and as far as I know (I did the media check) they work fine. I even tried it as root to see if it would be different, but I still had the same problem. Thanks

Moved: Seems more suitable in our Fedora forum. Regards.

We can't see the errors unless you post them and we are terrible at mind reading.

The error message is pretty general :

Code:

Error installing pacakges
      There was an error installing packages
       
      Exiting

The above is in a dialog box. This is on fedora core 1 and I don't know why its doing this. Thanks

Run it from an x terminal, then you can see the full error messages.

Read the sticky trouble-shooting guide. It has the link to download the latest redhat-config-packages. The original has problem recognizing the Fedora directory inside the CD.

Than you. Im going to look right now, I hope it fixes it, cause I love fedora.
