i hjave been having problems with urpmi not adding/updating sources so i 
uninstalled urpmi and gurpmi and rpmdrake, deleted /var/lib/urpmi and 
/var/cache/urpmi and /etc/urpmi and reinstalled urpmi, gurpmi and rpmdrake 
and ran  - as root- :
# urpmi.addmedia localcooker file://mandrake/cooker/

the result of which was as follows:
---snip-----
/mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/ziptool-1.3-6mdk.i586.rpm
/mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/zsnes-1.337-3mdk.i586.rpm
/mandrake/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/zssh-1.5a-1mdk.i586.rpm
choosing compression method with "gzip -4" for archive 
/var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.localcooker.cz
real archive size of /var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlist.localcooker.cz is 
19880728
reading hdlist file [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.localcooker.cz]
keeping only files referenced in provides
reading hdlist file [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.localcooker.cz]
built hdlist synthesis file for medium "localcooker"
found 3424 headers in cache
removing 3424 obsolete headers in cache
write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg]
[root@mycroft RPMS]#

as you can see the 'removing obsolete headers' means that urpmi has 
'forgotten about all the rpms it has just added to its list as the following 
command shows:
[root@mycroft RPMS]# urpmi zssh
no package named zssh
[root@mycroft RPMS]#

can someone please help me sort this out as urpmi and rpmdrake are currently 
unusable for me
