Hi everyone

Tried to run the Updater, and what happens is that my box connects to the server, gets the list of available updates, I select all, then i get the synosis of why I should apply the patch/update, then I get the progress bar, but there is no download or apply, the bar closes, and the update list is refreshed to exactly what it was before ( no updates applied)

I have tried this as both a user, and as root, same results ( other than as a user I am asked for SU password, but same results.)

It used to work fine..... It was part of my regular weekly routine of maintainance. Wazzup?

thanks for any suggestions

Distro = Mandrake 7.0

What I would suggest is that you check your "syslog" for any error messages. Do a "tail -n 50 /var/log/messages" to display the last 50 messages that your machine reported.

Then email us the message right after you run the "MandrakeUpdate" and then we'll see if anyone of us could help.
