Description Dave Hodgins 2012-05-03 03:53:34 CEST

With the latest dvd iso image, urpmi doesn't find any repository info on
the dvd.  The error from the report.bug is
* copying [/tmp/image/media/core/media_info/synthesis.hdlist.cz] for medium "core media"...
* urpmi error: problem reading synthesis file of medium "core media"

Similar problem when doing an (upgrade) install:
get as far as saying that I have no other media, then get the message

An error occured
something like cannot read the synthesis file

The cdrom dvd is evidently wrong (and I had done md5sum checking)

Sorry not available at the moment. Will fix this in the end of the afternoon but indeed medata are broken. (note for myself: stop building isos after midnight :) )

Comment 6 Anne Nicolas 2012-05-03 23:34:13 CEST

Fixed in last pre release isos

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
