djbsupport is bad, it should not try to modify a database being currently used,
if this is *really* needed, a perl script should be used using directly the urpm
library and avoiding to explicitely to lock the urpmi db (so that no error will
occur), this script is simple but may depend upon newer interface of urpmi (so
it need a require on major version of urpmi to be safe).

OK. I was able to install djbdns by adding a source from http://rpmhelp.net/ Thanks.


IIRC, djbsupport should no longer be in contribs.  I think it may still be
up for the older mdk versions, but I don't believe I made one for 9.2
thinking it's just too bloody easy to add a new source so I never bothered.


Actually, I was able to urpmi djbsupport from my mirror of 9.2/contrib/, e.g:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586/djbsupport-1.0-5mdk.noarch.rpm
