currently on cooker the format has changed, gendeplist2 is obsolete now (it was
in 7.1 or before If I remember correctly).

Now use current rpmtools package that provide gendistrib, use it like this:
  gendistrib --noclean --distrib <top_mandrake_dir> [<top_mandrake_dir2> ...]

It will build automatically hdlist and depslist.ordered file located in the
<top_mandrake_dir>/Mandrake/base directory. It use in input the hdlists file
located in this directory to search for other media.
