Yes, 17 is installed. Running MandrakeUpdate development update
offers to update MandrakeUpdate-7.2-17mdk to MandrakeUpdate-7.2-18mdk
and grpmi-7.2-17mdk to grpmi-7.2-18mdk.

I strictly followed the instructions in Mandrake's Advisory below to
update 7.2 (note that all this is over YOUR signature):
________________________________________________________________________
Linux-Mandrake Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: Various components for Linux-Mandrake 7.2
Date: November 9th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKA-2000:012
Affected versions: 7.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
The following updates to version 7.2 include some security fixes,
some
bug fixes, and packages to introduce KDE 2.0 final. These updates
are
already incorporated in the ISOs available for download. md5
checksums
are provided for all updated packages and the lists are broken up
into
specific sections. Users of Linux-Mandrake 7.2 are encouraged to
update all of the below-listed packages via MandrakeUpdate.
**NOTE: Before using MandrakeUpdate to update the following
packages,
you must first upgrade MandrakeUpdate itself and grpmi. In
MandrakeUpdate, select those two packages only, install them, and
then
restart MandrakeUpdate to perform the other updates.
<snipped>
To upgrade automatically, use � MandrakeUpdate �.
---------
How about you try a MandrakeUpdate for 7.2 on these two RPMs using
the ftp://rpmfind.net default mirror - you should strike exactly the
same problem?

Ron. [AU]
