Comment 38 for bug 913192

The main problem is really urpmi and this rpm standardization would be useful to use other package managers. URPMI trying to be friendly often only creates problems. Eg: only show the latest version of the package in repository. Does not downgrade transparently. If you have installed community repositories URPMI hides official packages, etc ... Fortunately now we can use SMART on Mageia 3. I follow the distro since Mandrake 7 and urpmi has always been limited in some points.
