The errata doesn't explain the symptom very clearly and a few of us thought it referred to another problem..... Unfortunately on some packages you may get asked for the Supplementary Applications CD, which doesn't come with Standard Edition - another part of the bug, I guess.

The MandrakeClub forums seem to be inaccessible at the moment (at least from here) but I think it is under the i586 thread - 'rpmdrake broken' or similar title. As soon as I can access it I'll post the link. Essentially, running the fix on the Mdk9 errata page gets rid of the 'everything installed' message, but creates a minor problem if you've got the Standard edition. But at least rpmdrake works now Smile Dutch Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
