I've noticed this problem too. After I installed Mandrake 7.2 on my
system, I noticed that MandrakeUpdate lists each package two times. The
same thing happens with rpmdrake-1.3-5mdk. I have no idea why it does this.
It's good to know that someone else has noticed the problem. I would
definitely like to see it fixed!
