And a lot your not saying here that you did (righteously) say then....
Ice in 9.1 is IMHO hosed.  I moved back to the 9.0 rpms and it all began
to work right.  Then put ICE into the skiplist for urpmi.  I had my own
bugs but they also got ignored.... *sigh*  BUT the 9.0 rpms work just
fine on 9.1 if anyone is interested.
