If you leave out the --update option on the urpmi --auto-select, it should
get all updated packages from any source, not just those from the update
source. Try this:
urpmi.update -a
urpmi --auto-select
Thanks I'll try this out

I'd suggest when upgrading official to community, you're likely
to get a fairly large number of updates, an the mirrors aren't all
that reliable. So after you've installed community main an contrib
sources (at least two different mirrors each, plf too if you have
plf packages), disable (SMM) your official sources, add this to the
top of /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg with the brackets,
{
downloader: wget
verify-rpm: 0
}
That will use wget as the default, which is more reliable than
curl. It will also ignore signatures that are bad or unsigned on
packages (usually contrib's or plf). Then...
'urpmi.update -caf && urpmi --auto-select -v --keep'
...if you get failures due to md5sums, then
'urpmi.update -caf --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select -v --keep'
See the man pages for what the switches to urpmi.update an urpmi
actually do. -caf is three different switches, && just tells your
system to do the second command only if the first one was
successful. Also, after a lot of updates, it's usually prudent to
log out, re-start X, and then log back in.
