Well, as well as I remember, urpmi works good for "usual"
distributions, but not for package repositories. Of course, if you
use CDs only in order to install something, urpmi will work fine.
But if you are to upgrade your system from a package repository or
remove lots of files with one command and not one by one, then APT
seems to work better. This is why urpmi and APT seem to have
different purposes - I think so, because I've used both many times.
Again, tell me if I'm wrong :-)
