hi gonzalo, kindly relay to RomLi that the source that is being added may contain a 'malformed' rpm. this is if the package does not conform to the Mandrake standard or if it is corrupted.
try using the commandline to add a new source (i think user has to be root) like this urpmi.addmedia [source descriptive name] file://location/of/new/source/directory if there will be an error in adding a new source then it will be shown in the commandline. just remove the offending package and try again. ciao!
