Nothing there. Well, I fixed at least partially the problem by remaking
urpmi directories underneath /var/lib and /var/cache just to be on the
safe side. Adding distribution media was not too difficult but I'm not
sure I did it properly -- for instance, installing Open Office from the
9.1rc1 distribution media gave 'I can't find it" messages because many
of the base packages for that are on CD #2. It should have asked to
change disks, rather than have me redo the urpmi with cd#2 inserted.

I'm off to rebuild the rest of the urpmi database, thanks to
plf.zarb.org. Gotta love that site...
