Unfortunately, this is not uncommon with Mandrake/Mandriva.

Use Smart?

Incidentally, Linspire/Freespire are about to launch a new version of 
Click'n'Run which is slated to cover all the main distros.  The idea is not 
unlike (or nicked from?) the Novell BuildService, but slanted considerably 
more towards the end-user.  Presumably they will just create a central 
link-point to the various repositories around the place.  It will be 
interesting to see how it develops - as with all Linspire stuff, it certainly 
*looks* nice.
