Gary thanks for trying, I think you probably left off the --expert 
switch when trying to tick the Updates column. Without that it won't 
allow you alter that column.

Thankyou all for getting involved. As a result, we have been able to 
properly test and validate this so give yourselves a pat on the back :)
You should see it become available very soon as an official update for 
all Mageia users!

Thanks
Claire
