In a previous e-mail I had listed many bugs, here are some more:
1.) If you start up MandrakeUpdate then select some packages:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 715 (gtk_container_add):
assertion `widget->parent == NULL' failed.
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 715 (gtk_container_add):

First of all, the 'Gtk-CRITICAL' warning should worry you. If GTK
weren't so smart, we'd have a crash on our hands. Second, it says
'extracting' without ever getting any packages. I think it should
realize that these packages aren't there. Again, I posted about some
bugs like these before, maybe you have them already.
2.) rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.4.6-2mdk
kernel-2.4.6-2mdk
I have two kernel rpms installed. Granted rpm was never meant to be used
this way.. BUT.. shouldn't MandrkaeUpdat e realize that if
kernel-2.4.6-2mdk is installed and kernel-2.4.6-2mdk is on ftp, that
even if I have another one installed (older or newer kernel) as well
that *I do not need to upgrade*. I already have the latest kernel
installed as shown above.
3.) BTW, the "Easy Updates" option kind of conflicts with an existing
configuration. For example, I have only a Cooker source. Adding an
update_source is not going to help me any. Maybe Easy Update (what is
this for anyway?), should include Cooker updates, and maybe even grey
out the "normal" "security" etc. options so that they can't be used, as
those are of no use to a
Cooker user.
