Hi,

Can anyone who is running this package help?

For the past 2 weeks I have had trouble running the Mandrake update via the 
Control Centre, I get the following message:

rpmdrake
"Please wait, contacting mirror to update pakage information."

error updating medium
"There was an unrecoverable error while updating package information."

I have tried with and without the CD in the drive as /var/log/messages makes 
mention of this:-
Aug 17 09:25:42 brock logdrake[6828]: ### Program is starting ###
Aug 17 09:25:52 brock kernel: cdrom: open failed.

/var/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner)

/usr/sbin/urpmi.update update_source
Aug 17 09:26:15 brock kernel: cdrom: open failed.
Aug 17 09:26:15 brock kernel: cdrom: open failed.

I don't know what else to try - any ideas?
