Since when? Rpmdrake *never* correctly updated list of packages. Two
most common cases:
- I select "updates only"
- I mark some packages for install
- I press install
- Case1: more dependencies have to be installed. They are correctly
installed but they remain in list of available updates (obviously
wrong).
- Case2: some packages fail but rpmdrake removes *all* selected packages
from list of available updates, irrespectively whether they were
installed or not.
