Thanks Stormjumper. My system is in a big mess already (see [newbie] Installation problem) and I need my urpmi to continue to work. I cannot take the risk of messing up my system even more. Especially with the tool that is supposed to help me out of the mess.
Can somebody please give me a more reassuring answer.
Thanx,
Ayoub

i have no direct answer to your question, but i seem to recall mandrake once released an updated rpm for urpmi, and it was installed properly using urpmi.
so the answer is: probably safe.

Using urpmi to update urpmi is just fine.
Just run "urpmi urpmi" and you're good to go.
