Medium Errors

FredGSanford · 10-13-2008, 10:42 AM

When I went to easyurpmi page to setup my media, I get these two error messages:

Unable to add medium, errors reported:

...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 1
problem reading synthesis file of medium "Main Updates3"
=============================
Unable to add medium, errors reported:

retrieval of [ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandriva/co...sis.hdlist.cz] failed (md5sum mismatch)
problem reading synthesis file of medium "PLF Free"

Any suggestions on fixing it? I'm trying to set up from 2009-rc2 to the final release.

Thnx.

Hi, I have not seen the error when I adjusted my sources.

What I did though was to remove the old repos from rpmdrake, then I used urpmi (auto-function)

from the site easyurpmi (zarb)

Maybe the site was too busy (just released)

Generally when I get errors like "problem reading synthesis file of medium"

it's either busy or does not exist, yet.

You can safely use the 2008.1 plf repos.

Upon checking my own urpmi file, I also do not have plf repos as yet. ;-)

cheers, Glenn
