+tbf, i personally think the best solution is actually to make it so that
+urpmi --update --auto-select works the same way as urpmq --update --auto-
+select, so that this can be also fixes for commandline usage when not using the 
+mgaapplet.
+
+thus: updating with --update should use dependencies from all media.
+
+this is imho the cleanest way.
