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.
Contents
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

Adding sources
- You might need to run the following (as root) first, in order to reinitialize urpmi's setup:
urpmi.removemedia -a
- Enter the following as root (I am using a mirror in France and
i586):
urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.1/i586/media/main/release with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update main_updates ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.1/i586/media/main/updates with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.1/i586/media/contrib/release with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia --update contrib_updates ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.1/i586/media/contrib/updates with media_info/hdlist.cz
