Ummm,
I am aware that urpmi, is a dependency for Rpmdrake, and that urpmi does
hold a dependency list for known rpms, but I don't think cilvileme is quite
correct :-))
I have installed rpmdrake, without urpmi, and it has worked fine for me.
Rpmdrake, I think, uses python as its front-end (gtk-python). Perhaps one of
these scripts is in error???
I suggest removing rpmdrake, and then re-installing it. Ignore Urpmi.
Regards,
Thomas Adam
