The server for the Mandriva forums appears to be (already?)
broken, no possibility to warn people via that evident way -
maybe this copy can help to minimise annoyance.
Thanks, but too late for me. My urpmi is now broken! Doh! There
is a thread of it on usenet. I wonder how they will go about
fixing this. Plus, I manage about 40 desktops for users in need
of help. Hmmmm ...

Instructions for fixing the problem are here:

Yes, but as stated in the follow up discussions, new users will most
likely not know how to fix it on their own. I imagine, as stated in one
of the replies, that Mdv will have to create 2010.2 repositories and
send out another updated through these repositories to fix the problem.
