Yes, I too had this problem, eventually I got MCC or urpmi to get it all
installed, but it was far more pain than I wanted.

As a result, next time Mandriva did a release, I gave up and moved to
debian. Its not hard, nearly all the same kinds of things are there.
I think Mandriva made a decision to move away from what I want in a
distro. I used it for years, but see no reason to go back now.
