Unfortunately this and the xml-info things seems to have broken some
things...:

- mirror structure seems to have changed, so that I'm forced to remove
and re-add PLF repositories on all of my machines:

[urpmi.update -a]

ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandriva/cooker/free/binary/i586/synthesis.hdlist.cz
                                                                                                                                                                                  
...retrieving failed: curl: (19) Given file does not exist
...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 19
problem reading synthesis file of medium "plffree_release"

ftp://ftp.easynet.fr/plf/mandriva/cooker/non-free/binary/i586/synthesis.hdlist.cz
                                                                                                                                                                                  
...retrieving failed: curl: (19) Given file does not exist
...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 19
problem reading synthesis file of medium "plfnonfree_release"

- On one machine where I successfully reconfigured PLF with the above
command, it seems after a complete urpmi --auto-select, urpmi is now
broken:
[root@anastacia frederik]# urpmi foo
mirror list not found
Could not find a mirror from mirrorlist
http://plf.zarb.org/mirrors/2008.1.x86_64.list

Please create a 2008.1 file because mandriva-release is at 2008.1 now,
even it it's not officially out yet.
