Can anyone tell me what this means?
I know I need to download something, but can't tell what.

urpmi drakxtools-newt-10-34.1mdk.i586
Some package requested cannot be installed:
drakxtools-newt-10-34.1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied perl(Libconf::Glueconf::NUT::Ups_conf))

I've tried five different mirrors, and they're all the same.

I got that too today when I tried to update the development version of Community. I also tried an ftp install of Community (the development version not official) and it refused to install drakxtools as part of the default package.

I'm not an expert and I'm guessing here but it looks like Mandrake screwed up the new rpms. I don't think it's anything you did at all. Probably if we wait for them to fix their error things will be ok in a few days.

(Yes, I'm using urpmi and got the sources from easyurpmi. I also tried updating a few things from Cooker and that didn't work either)

Apparently the files you want are Here and you may also want this
They are from the Australian mirror, but if you look at the URL, you can easily find them on any other mirror.

Yup - I am also pulling my hair out (my excuse for going bald, and I am sticking to it!)

I fixed this problem by replacing mdk10CE with mdk10OE.

Much less frustrating.
