i posted this problem a while ago but beyond suggestions that i uninstall and reinstall no-one could help me, i'm still having the problem of urpmi u[dating a local source and it apparently being 'empty' the out put of urpmi.update clearly shows that it finds refernces to rpms and then immediately deletes them from its database, i'm getting to the point where iam seriously considering doing a clean install just to get one application to work (i've done an upgrade already but this didn't fix it), but of course this would be silly wouldn't it? i have upgraded urpmi, rpmdrake, autoirpm, gurpmi, grmpi (and rebooted, windows style) to the latest versions but i still get the output below
