Thanks Charles, My original contrib url is ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586 path to hdlist: ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz (this was the urpmi.addmedia given by easy urpmi on plf) that path to hdlist was the only /base dir i could find. So as far as I can tell it was reading the right hdlist. I'll mess around with it and see. I even tried updating the contrib source or using a different one and it still gives me that error when installing from contrib. I'll report back after trying a few things.
