[Security-Discuss] problem with 2005 cpio update

I updated my --update source and used urpmi, as I always do, to try the 
update.  There was an unsatisfied /sbin/rmt, which exact file I could 
not find in the distro.  The rpm on my mirror, ftp.ciril.fr, did not 
pass the GPG check, even after I (re)installed the pubkey.  After 
downloading the file, urpmi prompted to install the apparent dependency 
and I chose tar, which got cpio upgraded but tar, it turns out, was 
already installed.  The date on the cpio rpm on the mirror is

cpio-2.6-3.1.102mdk.i586.rpm  	108 KB  07/06/2005  11:19:00 PM

which seems strange, as that is 5 days before the date of the advisory.

# urpmi --clean --skip kernel-source --update --auto-select
Some package requested cannot be installed:
cpio-2.6-3.1.102mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied /sbin/rmt)
Continue? (Y/n)

One of the following packages is needed:
1- tar-1.15.1-2mdk.i586 : A GNU file archiving program (to upgrade)
2- rmt-0.4b37-2mdk.i586 : Provides certain programs with access to
remote tapedevices (to upgrade)
What is your choice? (1-2) 1

installing cpio-2.6-3.1.102mdk.i586.rpm
