Probably preliminary, as it will want to upgrade URPMI and dependencies 
before using it to upgrade everything else.

Try "urpmi urpmi" and see if you get a similar list. Then "urpmi 
--auto-select" and you may have to chase some things through by hand (I 
did on a *very* heavily laden system (2000 packages installed), e.g. 
mod_php didn't automatically happen because it tried for mod_php5 and 
couldn't install it due to file conflicts with the old mod_php (4), so 
I explicitly asked for plain mod_php and after that it didn't try for 
v5; gtk+2.0 didn't happen for similar reasons so I explicitly URPMI'ed 
it and the other GTK-ish dependencies fell into line).
