are there any documents about how MandrakeUpate works?  I upgraded a few
days ago to the -17 versions of glibc, but after changing mirrors to
rpmfind.net, the screen showed that an upgrade to the -15 (backwards!)
was required.  I did not notice this until after I had answered OK, now,
no matter what mirror I point to I get the fact that I need to update
the -15 glibc to -15 glibc, which of course errors off.  None of the
mirrors seem to show the -17 versions via MandrakeUpdate.  I will obtain
the -17 versions and do a manual upgrade which may fix the problem.  I
have tried rpm --rebuilddb with no effect.

At this time I am really suspect that MandrakeUpdate has the ability to
keep a system up to date with the latest updates.  This is not an
isolated case as another machine regularly seems to have similar
problems with various packages - tho this is the first time with this
machine.  Also a number of updates recently released do not show up
which seems suspect as I would expect the main mirrors to take only a
few days to catch up.
