MandrakeUpdate in MDK 7.2 is buggy.
This is my persnal way of using it.
I use it to tell me what to update and check for special instructions for
install, then I open two terminals. In one I ftp the the site that
MandrakeUpdate reads from. In the other I do rmp -Uvh manually for each
downloaded rpm. Often I do update list in MandrakeUpdate and do this until
the list is empty.
Bottom line: do NOT use MandrakeUpdate to update, but use it to find the ftp
sites, choose the rpms and check your progress.
Hopefully it will work in MDK 8.0. As soon as the box is in the stores I
will go and grab one.
