There was an update of devfsd and initscript - I'll try to downgrade to
the 8.2 version.
BTW, the new urpmi does not work at all - it seems the perl-URPM package
references perl 5.6.1.

What I just wanted to say is that some rpm are not rebuilt yet on the
mirrors (aka perl-URPM for instance), so each time I'm trying to upgrade
there are tons of missing dependencies (especially when going to perl
5.8.0), so maybe if I build some missing rpms that didn't go through
your compile host yet, I could have more stability (I know that cooker
is not a stable release) ?

Or am I using a completely broken mirror (ftp.proxad.net listed from
mandrake website) ?

Anyway, thanks for your help·
