There is.
But you will have to get off your procrastinating ASS
and upgrade to 2007.0 ;)
urpmi-recover
urpmi.recover is a tool to help management of RPM rollbacks. It has
three main functions:
"urpmi.recover --checkpoint" is used to define a point in your system
that you consider stable, and to start storing info that will enable
you to rollback installations and upgrades to this state.
"urpmi.recover --list" is used to list chronologically all
installations and upgrades on your system. (It has two variants,
"--list-all" and "--list-safe".)
"urpmi.recover --rollback" is used to roll back installations and
upgrades to a previous point in the past (at most until your check
point.)

good idea I had a nice greasy meal so I'm about in the mood for a good
hurl and you'd make the perfect repository ;)
