This is the problem. Thanks. Zope is now gone from the database and
also from the update. Now, on the off chance that I would like to
have the updated, secure, zope, how do you download and install
updates (in this case a replacement) for packages you don't have
installed? I could reinstall zope and get it back on the list but
that obviously isn't going to get me what I would like since I would
be back with a Mandrake Update program that wasn't working. Any
suggestions?

There was only one version of each package, they had a 7.2
subdirectory so I don't think that the 1.1mdk packages would have
been in the particular place. Since you know about the mirrors, could
you answer a question? What is happening to the update mirrors? I
haven't been able to get a list of updates from any of the American
mirrors, I am always a little nervous about transatlantic updates
just because I find that ftp from those distances often fails at some
point during the process. Have the hosts decided not to host Mandrake
updates any longer?
