So you mean that you have local (hacked) version of automake1.6 that
already provides automake? Well ... I am not sure allowing it is good
idea. urpmi assumes integrity of of both its database and system state.
If state of urpmi database does not agree with state of system it is
better to stop than to risk breaking everything.

In your case, if you are smart enough to install hacked version that
contradicts uprmi database you should be smart enough to work around it
:-):

urpmi $(urpmq -u -d --auto-select | grep -v automake )

of course, if any autoselected package requires automake you still get
the same problem. In which case:

rpm -Uvh $(urpmq -u -d --auto-select --sources | grep -v automake)
