[expert] Why is urpmi such a pain in the ...?

[Avi Schwartz]

Today, Mandrake has issued a security update to ssh (BTW, if you did 
not update it yet, you better do it soon, before the exploit starts 
circulating).  I updated all the sources but urpmi --update 
--auto-select told me that everything is up to date.  Tried the 
graphical updater, the same story.  I ended up downloading the new RPMs 
and installing them manually.  How am I supposed to trust DrakeUpdate 
and urpmi?

This is something Mandrake can learn from SuSE.  Their online update 
works perfectly every time.
