You can get rid of the "invalid list file:" warning if you remove the file /var/lib/urpmi/list.contrib then edit your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and remove the line: "list: list.contrib" for your contrib source... As for the "bad signature" warning check that your contrib source has a GPG key associated with it in the Software Sources GUI in Mandrake Control Centre. BTW: If you want sylpheed you might like to try Charles Edwards' version. It is newer than the one in contrib http://www.eslrahc.com/ It can be set up as a urpmi source.
