It's just a defensive link, in case we missed one of the calls to software
manager under another name. You will also find rpmdrake there if you look,
but the fact is they have been merged into a new package, called software
manager and been given a number of improvements. RpmDrake can now work
without requiring a 50GHz processor to finish its task before the final
collapse.... MandrakeUpdate can now work a lot more reliably, though it
still needs work in some circumstances, particularly when removing and
installing packages in the same job.
