OK, I'll answer this myself. I've been using update from the cooker
installer, assuming that if an RPM updates it throws away the previous
version. But no - I had _THREE_ versions of lilo installed. Deleting the
earlier versions and reinstalling the latest cured the problem.
I then searched for other duplicates and found these:
libgimp-devel, libglib*-devel, htdig, bash1, XFree86-100dpi-fonts,
XFree86-75dpi-fonts, fdutils, libSDL_image, libSDL_mixer and libgal. There
may be more - it's hard to tell with so many packages being renamed with 0,
1, etc. at the end.
So there is either something else wrong with the installer or with the
scripts for these packages. Please investigate, Mandrake.
In the meantime I'd better use the installer just for clean installs - not
safe otherwise.

Peter
