Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The latest version is in cooker and
will only run on cooker 9.2. Besides all those deps you got, you
would'a got even more if you'd tried to install them, and more when
you tried to satisfy those. If you were ever able to get done,
you'd be runnin cooker 9.2. FWIW, and an example of current heavy
development, urpmi-4.3-15mdk is now the old version, today's is
urpmi-4.4-1mdk

That's the main point I wanted to make. 3rd party or non-Mandrake
packages/tarballs, specially closed source proprietary ones are
gonna be a problem whether you use urpmi or not. You'll be better
off runnin cooker, then messin up your system with them ;)
