Greetings, I have 9.2 installed and updated/config'd 
for the most part. It was a looong weekend downloading 
all the updates on my dialup. ;-)

I seem to be encountering something that seems odd 
with the urpmi db. There are some packages listed as 
installable, which I know are already installed. The 
packages show as being 0bytes in size. Anyone know 
what is going on here? I have tried rebuilding the the 
db with "rpm --rebuilddb".

Also, concerning urpmi. I get the following warning 
everytime I install a software package with urpmi:
"There was a problem during the installation:
medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file:
mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying 
to use alternate method."

If I just click OK, the installation goes fine. I tried 
deleting my contrib source and using a different one, 
but the same warning keeps appearing. Anyone else 
having this happen? What might I try to fix it?

TIA for your time/help.
Best regards.
