It is the tree on the mirror that is broken. We will have to wait until it is fixed. It is the file 'list' in the contrib folder that is out of date. The list includes the old kernel packages that were replaced. I do not know how urpmi uses the list file. It is clearly not essential since not all sources have one. When it is eventually fixed do a urpmi.update -a to bring your database in line with the mirror. You should also be updating the database for your updates source frequently. I automate my updates in a cron job with this :- urpmi.update updates && urpmi --update --auto --auto-select derek
