Thank you, really helpful!
may be, it is already known, but manpages for urpmi* show the wrong format
for urpmi.cfg, single line "name url" instead of multiline, bracketed
entries. I've updated to the latest urpmi and rpmdrake did not work; first
after urpmi.update it started to do something.
Probably, urpmi update could check and convert old format?
