I had this problem too. After running the rpmdrake I was seeing the sam
message that all files were remove from cache and rpmdrake wouldn't
install anything But after upgrading to all newest *rpm*
(urpmi,gurpmi,grpmi etc) the problem did go away. Can you send the
output from rpm -qa | grep rpm?
If anything would not work I can only give you one other thing to try.
Put this is your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg
MDK file://mnt/Cooker/Mandrake/RPMS {
hdlist: hdlist.MDK.cz
with_hdlist: ./synthesis.hdlist.cz
list: list.MDK
synthesis
}
The out put will say that it found 0 headers and removed 0 headers
But rpmdrake will install nicely all your packages.

Subject: [Cooker] urpmi.update problem
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

perfectly
