Ok, right. I should mention that I'm not using the synthesis file from cooker/contrib tree. Before urpmi.addmedia I deleted the synthesis.hdlist coming from the mirror tree to force urpmi to build its own. This ensures that urpmi's hdlist always matches the packages I really have on my local mirror. Otherwise, it often happens that the synthesis file is not in sync with the packages because of mirror problems. This ends up in complains from urpmi --auto-select about not available rpms. Another advantages is a working urpmf as it requires a 'real' hdlist (not synthesis). -- Oliver
