Use --keep
   

not an option for my version of urpmi. and when I try to upgrade urpmi,
then I get alot of other deps (especially alot of kde and mozilla
stuff).
 

I had similar problems on another thread, and the suggestion was to use
    --allow-nodeps --allow-force
I had to respond to some scary prompts, but "urpmi urpmi" eventually 
installed the latest urpmi.

BTW, I'm happy to see that as of yesterday an hd.img install with all 
categories but games checked completes correctly with only 3 (I think) 
package install errors.  So I can revert to testing installed systems 
and have less dependence on incrementally upgraded systems.
