Are you tyring to install it using URPMI?

What is the exact error message?

[bower]

i am using the package manager and it says

Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:

- digikam-doc-0.9.2-7mdv2008.0.i586

i have tried all 3 available versions in the package manager

I get some google hits when I search for that file name:

digikam-doc-0.9.2-7mdv2008.0.i586 - Google Search

Maybe one of those will work for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest setting up URPMI and trying to install it that way:

Easy Urpmi

I started by installing Mandriva ONE cd then i upgraded by downloading 2008 spring dvd and updating that way. i think the package manager is still trying to download from the old repositories. how can i check this and set it up for spring 2008 if needed. Bower

It's been a really long time since I've run Mandriva, in fact it was still called Mandrake when I ran it last, but look in the Mandrake Control Center (if they still have that). I think you can change it there.

Ok i looked in the control manager and i have mandriva free i686 spring .but package manager is still looking for i586 mandriva 2008.1

How do i set up the right repositories by hand. it wont let me install all sorts of things.
