The command you're looking for is urpmf. http://www.urpmi.org/en/man-html/urpmf.php It will consider every RPM in your entire urpmi database, whether that RPM is already installed, or merely available at one of your configured urpmi sources.

Todd I'm not questioning what you are saying, but actually agreeing
but noting some inconsistent events in the latest MDK's A fresh
install today had this for ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib
/var/lib
notably missing are /lib /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib (this 3rd one is
debatable as to need.)

Those two are the runtime libraries. Note how they're provided by the
libnas2 package. When linking, it will use the "-laudio" flag which
means it wants to look for libaudio.so. It doesn't want the .2 or .2.3
at the end. It wants only lib + {link target} + .so and that's it.
That file name convention is provided by the -devel package, in this
case, libnas2-devel.

I think there's something else going on here. /lib and /usr/lib are
default paths for ldconfig. Witness another example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate libncurses\. | grep lib | grep -v "a$"
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.3
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
/usr/lib/libncurses.so
/lib/libncurses.so.5.3
/lib/libncurses.so.5
/lib/libncurses.so
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate libncurses\. | grep lib | grep -v "a$" | xargs rpm
- -qf
libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-devel-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-devel-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
So libncurses.so is provided by the libncurses5-devel package and
libncurses.so.* is provided by the libncurses5 package. The first is
the development package because it's used when compiling programs that
will use ncurses. The second is the runtime libraries because programs
that are linked with ncurses need this library to be present to run.
Unfortunately, I seem to be using a bit of circular logic, maybe someone
else can explain it a bit better.

Tutorial time. How to find this out with the tools that Mandrake provides: 1) When ld (the dynamic linker) wants to a link a file using the library called "audio", it's really looking for a file named libaudio.so. 2) Look for that file with something such as 'urpmf libaudio'. 3) Comb through the results looking for devel packages that have that file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmf libaudio.so libnas2:/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2 libnas2:/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2.3 libnas2-devel:/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so 4) Tada!
