That kind of configuration is needed because we have firewall, but Mdk updates mirror location is on the local network (local mirror ftp server for Mandrake updates). I think that the problem is in calling 'culr' command, if there is no proxy settings in file '/etc/urpmi/proxy.cfg'. Urmpi.update calls curl as follows: /usr/bin/curl 0-s -I ftp://nanos/linux/distr/Mandrake/updates/9.1/base/hd I think that there is invalid parameter '0-s', which maybe? it should be '-0 -s', but I can not see the whole command line with parameters of the running process to see the whole picture. In this situation probably curl uses parameter '0-s' as an URL, which must be found, but '0-s' URL doesn't exist. There is no problem to make 'urpmi.update', if URPMI update source resides on the internet (e.g. ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/...). In this situation URPM http proxy must be set because of the firewall. Maybe there is a bug in vendor perl module 'urpm.pm'?
