A possible explanation : you may have two different mirrors for updates. Not all mirrors are *up-to-date* immidiately, which you can verify by going to - for example - : http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/ftp.php and notice the dates in the right column. Was the list long ? - In that case something must be wrong. If is was short, say 5-10 updates, I think the above explanation is right. Kaj Haulrich.
