urpmi package exclusion [solved]

I have a Mandriva 2008.1 server hosted with the ISP that I work for. I have taken the vanilla postfix source RPM, patched it to include support for sqlite3 lookup maps and built/installed the resulting custom package. This all works as expected.

 

The problem that I now face is how to tell urpmi to ignore any further postfix updates that are released, since installing an updated Mandriva RPM would break the sqlite3 functionality that I have added. In RedHat Enterprise 5.x, which uses yum as its package manager, this is trivial to achieve - I would simply add 'exclude=postfix' to the config file for my updates repository.

 

Is there a way to do the same with urpmi? I've looked through the man pages but not found an answer.
