I don't use urpmi for these sorts of files. I upload packages that are not designed for Mandrake, and check out their installation by rpm (rpm -ivh XYZ), which will tell you where the dependancies are. And if you think that it should work, you can "rpm --nodeps XYZ" to force the installation, then check out how it works, and if it doesn't back out with "rpm -e XYZ". But I work this out totally manually, so that *I* am in full control of what is going on. -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
