I hate urpmi. It almost works, though is clumsier in my mind than apt-get, and when it doesn't or breaks, or gets confused about data sources and which things are on a cd vs should be fetched remote, it's a real mess to untangle. For example, i have had mandrake systems that failed with the message "no such release exists", even sometimes newly installed ones from genuine release cd's. I love Mandrake (now Mandriva) overall, but would much prefer the rpm apt tools which behave the same as Debian apt, to urpmi, any day.
