- The correct title of this article is urpmi. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.
urpmi is a Mandriva Linux package management command line tool for installing, removing, updating and querying software packages of local or remote (networked) media. It wraps around the package manager rpm with the aim that the user should not have to suffer the often-encountered dependency hell.
Usage
urpmi <package_name> # Install package urpme <package_name> # Uninstall package with link (dependencies) urpmq <package_name> # Query the package database urpmf <file> # Find package that contains a file urpmi.update -a # Update your package list (i.e. keep it in sync with a mirror) urpmi --auto-select # Update your system
Useful commands
urpmi -y <word> # Find package containing <word> in their name urpmi_rpm-find-leaves # Find package without link (dependencies) urpmq packagename # Asks whether URPMI has ever heard of packagename urpmq --fuzzy name # Lists all known packages that sound vaguely like name urpmq -i packagename # Displays summary and description of packagename urpmq --list-media # Lists all known media
Adding sources
- Type the following as root (I am using a mirror in France and i586):
urpmi.addmedia main ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/main/release with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main_updates ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/main/updates with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main_backports ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/main/backports with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/release with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib_updates ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/updates with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib_backports ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2007.0/i586/media/contrib/backports with media_info/hdlist.cz
Note: You might need to enter urpmi.removemedia -a first, in order to reinitialize urpmi's setup.
