A couple of days ago, Warly, The Mandrake release captain, posted to the 
Cooker Mailing List that the structure of the mirrors will be chaning soon to 
accomodate the finalization of the Mandrake 10.0 release and the continued 
development that will be going on in the stable community branch.  Here is 
his original post:

The reason I am posting this is that as the mirrors start to synch up over the 
next few days, you may find your urpmi/rpmdrake spitting out errors when you 
try to istall something or update.  This will simply be because the paths on 
the mirrors will have changed, and  consequently, your urpmi sources will 
have to be changed to accomodate this.

For instance, updates for 9.2, which is now in 

../mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS

will become

../Mandrakelinux/official/updates/9.2/RPMS

This is going to be a welcome change as the old mirror structure stinks and 
this will help the Mandrake mirror system more reliable and easier to use.  
For those of you that are going to complain about this, please consider the 
long term benefit despite your short term pain.
