Does urpmi auto install dependencies?

like if I typed in php-devel would it auto install the other dependencies also ?

Yep.

oK i don't understand how to auto update my distro

urpmi -auto-select
Unknown option: u
Unknown option: t
Unknown option: o
Unknown option: s

did I do something wrong ?

I ran the above command and it offerd me a choice to install all these 80 packages. Is it wise to select yes? I believe I already have all of these or most of these updated. I just don't want to mess things up.....

Thanks!

dolphans1, you need to install them because they are updates for packages already installed on your system.

For me it says the packes already installed? i havent installed anything its a freesh copy of mandrake 3cds ? help

Did you configure any extra urpmi sources after your installation? If you don't know how to use urpmi (mandrakes package management tool), then go to zebulon.org.uk for a mini tutorial. Once you have read through that, go to easyurpmi and follow their instructions for setting up urpmi repositories for your version of Mandriva (setup the main, contrib, updates and plf repositories). Once thats done, do as root, "urpmi --auto-select" in a terminal window.

Thanks reddaz, ran the updates and it worked well.
