If you mirror directly packages on your machine, you may want to use --virtual

*always* be up-to-date, but it works only for local medium (ie file://
protocol).
 

The 9.1 urpmi doesn't support --virtual, and it doesn't even show up in 
the May 18 cooker (which was the last one I was able to build).

As of today's cooker updates, things have changed.  Both "urpmi urpmi" 
and "urpmi --auto-select" still fail, but now they get to the stage of 
actually printing out all of the things that are going to be installed, 
and then find things that are missing.

So, I'm assuming that this wasn't something wrong with my setup, and 
that after the current torrent of cooker updates dies down, I'll be able 
to try again with better luck.
