Its on the cd's isn't it? I have no idea what the reason is, but I had problems with urpmi immediately after installation. Errors like everything already installed or no package named xyz. I had to do a reinstall for a variety of reasons and this time, I didn't install the updates at the end of the install (someone on the list told me about that - can't remember who, I'm afraid) and as soon as I had booted into the new install, I deleted all the software sources from MCC (ie, the cd's) and used http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php to put together a complete set of sources including distro, updates, club, plf, tex, etc. I have had no problems since.

[luca@pippo luca]$ urpmq -r recode recode-3.6-3mdk Maybe the sources are not configured correctly? Is this an upgrade or a fresh install? I had to manually remove the old lists and clean up the /var/lib/urpmi directory after an upgrade. Also http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon is your friend.

Re: [expert] Mandrake 9.0 urpmi broken?
Right, right, right!!! After having spent countless hours/days/weeks in tweaking the urpmi myself, I couldn't agree more with the statement below. I have had no problems since running urpmi.addmedia with the recommended sources from nanardon (except for one problem - caused actually by myself: if you construct too many sources, for too many reasons, you may end up with problems, e.g. kde updates 3.0.5-1.1mdk official updates collided in my case with the unsupported source of kde 3.1rc5 ... but that - again - because I was too anxious to have ALL possible sources available).
