I maintain my own source. I rsync from rpmfind.net first (its faster) then from
one of the main cooker mirrors, sunsite.uio.no. I then use:

genbasedir --topdir=/packages/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ Mandrake cooker

I get the same problems with just a single source. 

The reason I do all of this of course is because the package lists on these
mirrors don't seem to be up to date at all. 

This used to work fine, about 2 weeks ago.

Not an error, a warning ;)

some warnings.

Basicaly this means that somewhere there are packages with the same name, version,
epoch and releases but they are not the same.

e.g. a recompiled package.

I am not too sure, but I thing apt uses md5 to make sure a package is the same,
so a recompiled package will have a different md5 and therefore will cause this
errors.

You either have too many repositories (incompatible ones) in your source.list
or you have this packages installed on your system and the ones on the repository
are the same name,epoch,version,release, but not the same md5.


So, what is on your sources.list?
