Reply With QuoteDoria, I know it sounds silly, but try:
urpmi drakeconf
At the command line as root. From what I can tell, there is an issue with drakeconf and urpmi when updating.

For starters I am running Mandrakelinux 10
So, I just did a urpmi --auto-select and now I can't run drakconf.
Any suggestions about what to do?
This is the first time I have done this extensive of an update on my own and need some guidance.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need to know.
thanks

yeah, i tried that. told me "everything already installed"

What happens if you try to start drakconf from the command line??
(You may have to be logged in as root to do this)
this is exactly what I got when I tried it from command line
[root@localhost doria]# Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/icons/drakconf.png' at /usr/lib/libDrakX/ugtk2.pm line 613.
ouch, try reinstalling libpng (in what ever manner is appropriate) and then running ldconfig as root
Have you tried this?
urpmi libpng10
urpmi libpng3
In succession I did
urpme drakconf
urpmi drakconf
no change, still couldnt use it.
urpme drakxtools
urpmi drakxtools
still didn't work
urpme libpng3
urpmi libpng3
about this time I was getting frustrated...
So, I IMed a friend of mine who is a Linux genius and he came over and did this:
[root@localhost doria]# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.lib
I guess something got screwed up with GTK when I did the update. That explained why Gaim looked funny all of a sudden.
Anyway, thanks for the help! Hope this can help someone else somewhere down the road
