Derek, I think the confusion stems from the re-arranged mirrors. When launching Mandrake Update, nothing happens although there are tons of upgrades to 10.0CE. A closer look reveils that the original sources in Mandrake Update are out of date. Furthermore, when browsing the updated mirrors, i.e. proxad, the are a multitude of Mandrake trees. In the devel-branch, however, no "updates" are anywhere to be found. But in the "official" tree, there is the usual "updates" tree for all, recent versions. My guess is, that for "official" the GUI Update works, but it certainly doesn't in CE. Hence this long thread. Your above mentioned CLI options do, luckily.
