Actually, it was a problem with 9.0: <http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/90errata.php3#urpmi> The fix is unfortunately not applicable to 8.2. I'm thankful that you mentioned it in any case, because now I have the 8.2 errata bookmarked. Several people suggested that I may need to update my sources first. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had updated everything just last week. Others suggested several variants on urpmi commands, but I am using rpmdrake, the GUI frontend to urpmi. Still, these suggestions gave me the idea of trying urpmi from the command line on the problem packages, and they installed without complaint. So apparently the problem is with the version of rpmdrake that shipped with 8.2, and the workaround is to use urpmi from the command line. Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction. -- Warren Post, Registered Linux user 241394 Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras http://srcopan.vze.com/
