Hi !
I have the same problem with rpmdrake (rpmdrake-1.3-87mdk).
I tried urpmi directly and get the message: everything already installed.
I debug urpmi to locate the problem. (urpmi-1.7-8mdk).
I found, when urpmi is running in minimal closure mode (the default-mode),
urpmi prints the obove message, but in maximum closure mode (urpmi -M ...),
it works fine.
During my debugging I found that the function
filter_minimal_packages_to_upgrade (in urpm.pm) removes the packages I want
to update, so that finally no packages is in the list to install and urpmi
prints the obove message.
Here is a small workaround that set urpmi to maximum closure mode as default,
but rpmdrake is still broken. (I get allways the messages as obove !!!)
