Description jon scsi 2012-04-08 14:15:17 CEST

Description of problem:
I downloaded a couple of mga packages and their dependancies in an attempt to get my head around on how mageia 2 works.

I'm use to being able to either just click on the package file to install it, or in a terminal, call it up with it's installer to do the same.

However I found the installer insisted on going on-line and freshly downloading before installing.

I tried the same thing from a terminal using urpmi, which from reading I thought worked similarly, It also insisted in a fresh download!

How reproducible:
very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download a package to your home directory
2. use either of the methods mentioned
3. similar results.

what do you use for installing you 'local' rpm ?

urpmi * or urpmi ./xxxx.rpm should use them (iirc)
(you can also add -v or --debug to see more details)

urpmi filename.rpm as i'm in the relevant directory already, I hadn't considered the need to put a ./ in front of the filename.

works for me.
Please attach (not paste) output of urpmi.
eg: the log.txt file resulting from running
urpmi -vv --debug foobar.rpm 2>&1|tee log.txt

closing this as i've just realized that I've blown this partition when using it for the mageia2 beta3 test installation, sorry
