urpmq will search all available media unless you force it to use a specific

It may be your 'main' source is not configured properly or maybe you are just
being misled by the way urpmq will return a limited list if there is a close
match.
Compare for example what is returned if you do :-
urpmq samba
urpmq samb
urpmq --fuzzy samba

Ok..not sure what the problem was, but I did the following and it appears 
to be working now.

I removed all the urpmi media and then re-added it.
I then updated all my  media, but I got the following error.
$ urpmi.update -a
retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "updates"...
...retrieving done

Now, I see "updates" and "contrib" but I dont see "main". It also appears 
that "contrib" failed as well.

however, when I search for samba now, I get all the releases, 2.2.8a to 3.0.0.

Any ideas on what happened with the update?
