Ummm, contribs are shipped at the same time as the release, unsupported is post-release updates for the stable dist. Btw, I (being the one who added gd2 for 24bit PNG export in grass) asked how you got this error message (you didn't rovide your command-line), but you didn't replay, so I didn't know what to do to fix it. So, here we try again: Did you get this message when running something like 'urpmi --autol-select'? If so it is my bug, and libgd2* should not obsoletes libgd1. I haven't noticed this, because our cooker mirror has been out of sync since I added gd2, and I had to install it manually to compile grass before gd2 was in cooker. Maybe this time you can reply, and I can fix it before our cooker mirror is back in sync (probably Monday morning). And why don't yuo cc to the person who is listed as maintainer???? Yuo can query at http://bed.reser.org/mandrake/rpmmon, or take the person in the last changelog (me).
