That's backwards - for using cooker urpmi is nearly essential. Trying to do it with rpm alone is a step backwards. In every case of bad RPM installs I've helped fix it was NOT because of a flaw in urpmi but because of misuse of --force or --nodeps with plain old rpm. urpmi may refuse to install something due to some idiotic dep that only a moron would invent (msec for drak tools?) but I've never seen it install something it shouldn't. -- Murray J.
