Definite problem here. :D

[sbalmos@sbalmos urpmi]$ ls -l
total 104
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     101174 May 12 22:44 depslist
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          0 May 19 18:35 list.cdrom1
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          0 May 16 20:48 list.cdrom2

Looks like urpmi needs a swift kick in the jaw. So... How to rebuild the
indexes?
