Add a hdlist and a synthesis source for same source and that ended, urpmi will deal with that correctly... And between yum that segfault/not resolve dependancy and so on, I prefer my urpmi that can't deal with failling mirror script... In past the real problem comme from mandriva and update scripts from mirrors (mandriva experimented few hard disk crash hdlist not synced with list of rpm, etc...) Maybe yum is disigned better, but based on my experience, urpmi issue me less trouble than yum...
