Re: [expert] 9.0--9.1 - successful experience ... and also a minor question
As I explained in my earlier post: I have done all that, i.e. removed the old urpmi config entries and re-updated them from the 9.1 section of the awesome http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php ;) ... no big deal, though. I am tempted to think that something may be lingering from a non-std (contrib or unsupported Mandrake-ready) prior install (I have all kind of junk running on that machine, as test, prior to using it on my laptop or other desktops), as someone (and yourself) suggested.

I PLF *IS*NOT* contribs. PLF is a seperate entity. You have something that is getting upgraded that requires a program/library that is only provided by an older 9.0 Contribs (not current Main and not current PLF). Provide a current Contribs source and that takes care of asking for the older disks. Blue skies...
