[oclug] Mandrake 9.2 updates

[Brian's Linux Box]

OK, so I have installed Mandrake 9.2
I've added some sources for updates  
(using in part Shad's instructions at 
http://www.ascendant.ca/articles/features/Mandrake/mdk91-8_html
- Thanks Shad)

and I've run urpmi --auto-select
  it reports 
"medium contrib uses an invalid list file"
and
"everything is already installed"

The contrib thing is likely a typo on my part, 
but as I understand it that is not the
offical Mandrake files anyway so I can review at 
my lesiure.

The way I read it, all the offical Mandrake packages
are up2date (pardon the pun)
It seems a little too easy :-)
Am I missing anything here?

Brian

PS  pointers to shorewall docs for idiots appreciated too.
