I just started playing with alpha 3 and hit a somewhat weird situation:

The iso-dvd installs

urpmi-6.43-2.mga2.noarch.rpm

The result of doing  urpmi --auto-select  - first thing after install - 
is downloading and installing

urpmi-6.43.1-1.mga2.noarch.rpm

That looks like an update where an older version replaces what looks 
like a newer version - which I dont understand.

Understanding may be of secondary importance - but if there really is a 
mistake in version numbering, that might create inconsistencies and 
future problems.
