Urpmi has changed as to how it handles the source.
As best as I understand it now operates at its own descretion as to the
fetching and listings of available pkgs this to correct a problem in the
previous release with using systhesis only rather than hdlist.

I am  GUI man so I stick with rpmdrake and have used it only for ftp or cooker
sources.
My only attempt at a local source was from cd-rom and this failed with
unable to read hdlist.

It could very well be that rather than a procedure problem using urpmi that 
it is a problem in the build.
I would post to cooker and hopefully Francois will respond.
