Ok some details about what happend
If you got the same kind of problem make sure you take out all
sources that might be expired and take only one sure one it should work
especially when you have one source which links to some dir on your harddrive
delete it from your sources list . Seems like MandrakeUpdate cant coop with
expired sources. With me it was so that i created a dir where i had saved
packets then i added that source to MandrakeUpdate and tryed to install them
but it didnt work so i deleted them again and after that MandrakeUpdate didnt
work anymore and i checked the file which gave the error and saw that there
was a list of those packets which i had allready deleted just at the place
where it hang.
Looks like a bug to me.
Cheers
