It should be definitively fixed with upcoming 2.0-6mdk, whether the file is here, no more, was removed or whatever. I sucked at first release regarding this file (disclaimer: I sucked because I tried to fix suckness of previous rpmdrake - my own suckness was to not be able to fix previous suckness once and for all). > [2] I found out how to see the list of packages I can upgrade -- > "by presence" > might be clearer in English I think if it said > "show only installed packages" It's now renamed to "by update availability" which is fairly better than "by presence" (latest version). > [3] I used to be able to see installed packages sorted by source. > This was *really* useful. > Can I still do that?

Currently it says "3/6" which is good. A cancel button might be good, I'll see/try when I have time. > The URL should be copy/pastable text!

With current rpmdrake version, after installation you're back to the main rpmdrake window so it might be less awkwark. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
