->right, easiest way is to go to easy urpmi at :

I have to comment here - most of the time, what Dennis is saying works just
great. *Most* of the time. Some packages just don't seem to cut and run like
this though.
Example- Mplayer. I've got PLF setup as a source, as well as eslrahc and the
club internet places. So I tried a simple "urpmi mplayer" when I thought a
newer versions was out.
A list of files that needed to be removed and updated was given - a very long
list of files. Including some apps that just seemed to have nothing to do
with Mplayer.
To make a long story short, Mplayer never worked right after that. I ended up
removing (manually) everything Mplayer related and re-installing them (and
Mplayer).
Don't get me wrong folks - I think urpmi rocks! and rules! but sometimes...its
not all peaches 'n cream... :-)
