Here's what I use to update.
urpmi -v --auto-select --allow-nodeps --allow-force --no-verify-rpm
-v to see everything that going on
--auto-select to update everything that needs to be updated
--allow-nodeps to allow you to install without checking dependencies
if needed
--allow-force to allow you to force the installation if needed
--no-verify-rpm to keep it from complaining about bad gpg signatures
Cool! This is a keeper, fer sure, but it looks like I saved my 9.1 install, so no excuse for me to upgrade now :-(
I'm sure I'll find an excuse when the final comes out tho!
Cheers!
I should clarify that --allow-force and --allow-nodeps does not automatically install without checking dependencies or force an install.
If urpmi runs into a problem with resolving a dependency for any particular package, or group of packages, it will ask you whether or not you would like to try to install them without checking dependencies. If it is still having problems it will ask if you want to force the install of the packages.
