rpmdrake in Mandriva Linux 2007.1 cannot install packages that
are excluded by /etc/urpmi/skip.list. This is not how the
system is intended to work (these packages should be left out of
automatic updates, but should be installable manually if the user
wishes). This bug made it difficult to install, for instance, the
kernel-source-stripped-latest package, as it is listed in skip.list
by default.
This update fixes the problem and allows the user manually to install
packages listed in skip.list if they so choose.
