[Mageia-dev] drakrpm can no longer download packages

Hi,

Since the updates recently, I can no longer use drakrpm to update packages.

When trying to run MageiaUpdate it will happily show me a list of
packages to update and then displays a "Distribution Upgrade" dialog and
says it is downloading package "xxx.rpm".

This then fails.

Console output:

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading
configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

A few points:

The "Distribution update" dialog stays in the way and looks kinda ugly
when the error dialog pops up. It should really be dismissed.

Running urpmi on the command line works fine.

If I can provide any more info, please just ask.
