Initially:

urpmi --auto-select

Came back with about 35 packages that needed to be
upgraded. I said ok, failed due to missing
nfs-utils[-client]*. Downloaded the required rpms and
put them in the /var/cache/urpmi/rpm directory and
ran:

urpmi --auto-select

Which succeeded and ran the massive rpm command
(scrolled past the screen so don't have the entire
thing). It thought for a couple of seconds and burped:

perl-URPM >= 0.94
