manual update, what order?

Hama · 04-12-2004, 08:53 AM

Since the ALL 10.0 update mirrors seem to be broken, I want to do the critical updates manually. Here's the first in the list:

Mandrakelinux 10.0

5ccd56bb9dab0708be04d99e68ee636a 10.0/RPMS/ipsec-tools-0.2.5-0.1.100mdk.i586.rpm
60af7d28c135a27a4a7a6a7a340154db 10.0/RPMS/libipsec-tools0-0.2.5-0.1.100mdk.i586.rpm
a19e2af746e74f53b9a2d8e8e949a58a 10.0/SRPMS/ipsec-tools-0.2.5-0.1.100mdk.src.rpm

Do I install the RPM's in the order that they appear? Sorry dumb nooby question, but don't want to end up reinstalling *again* if something gets completely messed *again*.

Thanks!

(anyone seen any news on when those mirrors are gonna be up??)

You don't need to install the third one - it is a source rpm of the first one. I'd suggest doing the lib first and then the ipsec. If the system complains, issue it as rpm -Uvh libipsec-tools0-0.2.5-0.1.100mdk.i586.rpm ipsec-tools-0.2.5-0.1.100mdk.i586.rpm.

Thanks. Good I asked. Getting Linux-fatigue somewhat from having to read so much for every little thing

Um well being a Linux noob aside, I do programme alot and will be on Linux and may be installing more exotic software... I've understood that when developing and you're compiling alot, you'll want to have the sources fir everything. Or is that a source package specifically just for if you want to compile the updates?
