I couldnt' see the progressbar when I was doing updates.. I found that there 
is an update to rpmdrake.. but it also didn't completely solve the 
situation.. Here is the output on the console when I tried to install a RPM. 
Seems the percentatge is not between 0.0 and 1.0.. 


[root@tp17]# rpmdrake
extracting xosview-1.7.3-10mdk.i586

assertion `percentage >= 0 && percentage <= 1.0' failed.

Also, there is no description on the updates. The info on the right side is 
of the RPM package and dosn't tell anything about the update. MandrakeUpdate 
used to give information about the update. Please add that.

Other bugs:
-I selected the updates, then added another RPM source, the package list got 
reloaded.. now I could still see the updates I had selected in the "selected" 
box.. now I said install and it game erros that package not found .. the 
package name etc. was all corrupted.. I clicked on the packages in the 
selected box and the name, description etc. was all corrupted. there was also 
no way to remove the selection.. I had to close RPMDrake and reopen it and 
reselect the packages adn then clicked install.

-If I chosee another RPM source which has same RPMs as the CDs I have, then I 
get all entries twice. selecting on any of the two entries always defaults to 
the first source. I think the best solution would be to have one entry per 
package. If a package can be installed from two sources, then when the user 
selects a package for installation, he/she should be asked from where he/she 
wants to install it.

Also, some packages names in the list are displayed with grey background and 
some with white bg.. whats' the difference?
