I thought the same thing too, but I did a check of one of the packages, xine-ui of yesterday. I have an old version of the package installed. The new version is on the updates mirror I have configured. I have the updates mirror configured correctly using the --update switch of urpmi, so it is actually recognized as an updates mirror. The path of the mirror is correct. If I enter xine into the search box of the update utility of MCC after it has run, showing nothing, the updated xine package appears in the package list, as I expected it to with the update check. But it won't appear during an update check, nor do any of the other packages that should. I am beginning to think that Mandrake Update is broken on 10? Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2 updated just fine on several other of my boxes after I corrected the mirror info. No such luck on 10. There isn't any reason I can think of that the updates shouldn't show up in Mandrake Update. This one has me stumped. Rick Kunath
