Thanx, Ayoub Ayoub; the answer to your question is yes, urpmi can be upgrade just as with any other package. Easiest way; since if you already know there's an update available for it just open a terminal and as super user (root) type: urpmi urpmi enter The dependencies will all be worked out for you. The reason you don't see anything specific about it is quite simply that there's no need for it. Updates are updates.
