Ah, I see the origin of that problem now, thanks. I've commited a workaround for that problem in the network code of the CVS. Now, do you know who made that silly absolute link? It seems that it's not the draknet/drakconnect code which does that. Did you use linuxconf/netconf or whatever?

Upgrade times are always much longer since the main time consuming is tied to the size of the rpmdb, and the fact that rpm needs to execute the %scripts of the previously installed packages as well as the ones of the new packages. Also, we do install more packages, in general, so it takes more time. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
