The other night I "accidentally " upgraded an old kick around laptop from 2006 to 2008. The reason I say accidentally is because the partitions were not being formatted as I thought they would be. Anyway, once I noticed what was happening I let it go just to see what would happen.
Most things seemed to be OK, just about everything really, except for rpmdrake and related things. They flat out wouldn't work. So I just went ahead and did a fresh install which was the plan all along.

percentage output comes from the downloader used (curl or wget). urpmi just parrots whatever it gets from curl or wget, nothing is modified. I think wget has been modified recently to only show the percentage for quite large files. you could switch to curl, if you're using wget. |
I'm using curl. Perhaps the x86_64 version is broken or has been modified 
Re. the machine that is not updating. I've found the /var/lib/urpmi/MD5SUM file only has entries for the DVD media. So it looks like all the other md5sum entries have not been added as part of the medium creation process. How could this have happened? Is there a way to force it to generate the entries?
However, I still get weird behaviour. I coped the MD5SUM file from the working machine to the dud one. I now no longer get the md5sum error when doing the urpmi.update. However, it downloaded the hdlist.cz files and then says that the mediums are all up to date when they are not! What could cause this behaviour? How does urpmi decide that a media is up to date or not? |

The md5sums should be re-done every time you remove and re-add the repo. I've no idea why they wouldn't be.
I think it compares the local copy of the hdlist against the md5sum from the server.

| It looks like wget is the problem or the way urpmi uses wget. A clean install 2008 doesn't appear to put curl on the box. If I install curl then all my problems go away. |

Back to the topic:
I moved /var to a separate partiiton, with different filesystem blocksize, and that helped much regarding rebuild of database, it now pass verification every time after rebuild, compared to before when it most often were found erroneous after rebuild.
However urpmi give segmentation fault.
Maybe I have incompatible versions, as i have changed some rpm thingys?
