The urpmi mini-howto says "Once the security > source is added, we can check for and install security updates with > urpmi.update -a followed by urpmi --auto-select". > > Richard the --update forces urpmi to only use sources defined as an update source. eg. you have a official mandrake update mirror for mandrake 8.2, and a plf urpmi source. if you simply urpmi --auto-select, it tries to update every single program for which a newer rpm exists (on any source), even if it's not defined as an update source. this may result in very messed up systems, depending on what urpmi sources are configured. hope this explanation helps
