No sooner done than I then find a new version of urpmi queued for update that was not there yesterday! (Though no indication as to what the improvements are.)

maurice well without any logs we (or at least I) can nothing with such bugs) I appreciate that. There is no log because the session in which the deletion took place ended by freezing the whole system and I had to abort. I reported it nevertheless as such incidences must come to light. However, I have now tried another s/w update (but not via chroot) and it did *not* remove Pan, so perhaps the later urpmi that the earlier update installed does not have the problem. But in which circumstances would 'urpmi --auto-update' log the activity "Removing .... "? if there is an obesolete in another package iirc, but there could be indeed a bug (I have not seen another one related to skip.list for now) Status:

Description of problem: Using "urpmi --auto-update" removed an installed instance of the Pan newsreader (old version). (This was being done to recover from kernel panic at boot following a s/w update from cauldron.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): See 'Source RPM' info above How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. From e.g. a Mageia-2 session on the same machine: mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mga3-root chroot /mga3-root mount -t proc none /proc mount -t sysfs none /sys urpmi --auto-update 2. Watch terminal session output, and soon notice "Removing pan..." N.B. "pan" is listed in /etc/urpmi/skip.list, and was *not* replaced by another version of pan. It was installed earlier by: urpmi --allow-nodeps /home/mab/Downloads/pan-0.14.2.91-4mdk.i586.rpm (The whole s/w update installed 1,320 packages, on Jan.14.) 3.
