Hey! Check out this script Updating PPM Repositories It finds all the active repositories. I had the same problem and after running this script, I was able to install because there were more active repositories available to search.	[reply]

I found the following entry for DBI at the Active state 5.8 repository: `52. ActiveState Package Repository [http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.plex? urn:/PPM/Server/SQL] DBI [1.50]` [download] What repositories do you currently have configured in PPM? Use `rep` at the ppm prompt to list your current repositories and the `rep describe n` to see their urls. Eg. `ppm> rep Repositories: [1] Jenda [2] ActiveState Package Repository [3] Roth [4] JMC [5] PTK [6] rto [7] OpenInteract [8] GA [9] Crazy [ ] dada [ ] Theory ppm> rep describe 2 Describing Active Repository 2: Name: ActiveState Package Repository Location: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.plex?ur +n:/PPM/Server/SQL Type: PPMServer 3.0` [download] (Gosh darn I wish they'd just list the whole information in the first place instead of forcing you to describe each one individually!) Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal? "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for your answers. I will try that script. My repositories are: "ActiveState Package Repository" with the same URN as you wrote (but there is no result for search *) and another rep I found at location:http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus/ Type:Webpage	[reply]
