Hello using cooker for now 6 months and not the first time i saw this type of answer, but i'm always amazed of this ( in a precedent message you were also advising to upgrade perl-URPM manually to solve failure of urpmi while upgrading some packages )
What is the meaning of urpmi if we have to upgrade manually every week at least one package and by the way find which package we have to upgrade ( because that's never a simple thing for the "normal user" to find the one that makes trouble when you got 2 pages of rpm dependencies errors saying kdebase is absent e.g when this one is really there !! :o( ) ? I'm using apt for redhat for now months and never saw it being so wierd as urpmi is. The dependancy system always work well, i do not say apt is totally perfect but it seems a lot improved over urpmi ). Maybe it would be useful to check how dependencies are managed by apt ? ( i'm not a developper, so sorry if i just said a big mistake lol ) the meaning of my message is just an interrogative purpose, not a criticative one : isn't there a big work to do with the internal dependancies system of urpmi to make it really more efficient and also more intuitive in the error messages returned to user ?
