</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (sorry, me doesn't know the exact English strings).
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I meant exactly what I wrote. Select Backports from the first filter in

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Check /var/log/auth.log to see what mgaonline is doing.

Jim is right; rpmdrake treats &quot;backports&quot; in a special way, and they
do get updated even when they're disabled. urpmi won't install
packages from them by default (unless you explicitly enable them or
use e.g. 'urpmi --searchmedia Core\ Backports'); rpmdrake can show
packages from &quot;disabled&quot; backports repos when you select the
&quot;Backports&quot; filter, assuming they were correctly updated by mgaonline
which is what mgaonline does by default.
