urpmq will search all available media unless you force it to use a specific media with --media or restrict it to update media with --update
It may be your 'main' source is not configured properly or maybe you are just being misled by the way urpmq will return a limited list if there is a close match.
Compare for example what is returned if you do :- urpmq samba urpmq samb urpmq --fuzzy samba

Ok..not sure what the problem was, but I did the following and it appears to be working now.
I removed all the urpmi media and then re-added it. I then updated all my media, but I got the following error.
$ urpmi.update -a retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "updates"... ...retrieving done examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz] computing md5sum of existing source hdlist (or synthesis) examining MD5SUM file examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] computing md5sum of existing source hdlist (or synthesis) examining MD5SUM file retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "contrib"... computing md5sum of retrieved source hdlist (or synthesis) ...retrieving failed: md5sum mismatch retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "contrib" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz]
Now, I see "updates" and "contrib" but I dont see "main". It also appears that "contrib" failed as well.
however, when I search for samba now, I get all the releases, 2.2.8a to 3.0.0.
Any ideas on what happened with the update?
