Description José Melo 2011-05-15 00:33:21 CEST

Running a x86_64 system and running 'urpmi.addmedia --distrib <some_mirror>' will not add non-free i586 media, that way the x86_64 system will not have all packages available like for example flash-plugin.

i have checked non-free media for i586 and x86_64 and wasnt synced,.

One solution would be to keep the non-frre media synced (for 64bits and 32bits) , or when running 'urpmi.addmedia --distrib <some_mirror>' to also add the non-free 32bit media to be also available for x86_64.

Source RPM: rpmdrake-5.26.8-1.mga1.src.rpm => urpmi

José Melo 2011-05-15 05:33:52 CEST

Source RPM: urpmi => urpmi, rpmdrake

Comment 1 Ahmad Samir 2011-05-15 08:04:38 CEST

rpmdrake uses urpmi to add the repos; and in reality the bug isn't gonna be fixed, if fixed at all, in urpmi nor rpmdrake, but in the media.cfg file on the mirrors.

Source RPM: urpmi, rpmdrake => urpmi

When creating a bug report you need to report/describe how the bug happens so it can be reproduced,so its correct to report that the bug hapens in urpmi and rpmdrake.
You simply entered in tecnical details.

Source RPM: urpmi => urpmi,rpmdrake
