I'm not sure where you got that idea from.
[root@localhost downloads]# up2date -i samba-swat http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-2 using mirror: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/2/i3 86/os/ http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc2 using mirror: http://mirror.eas.muohio.edu/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/i386/

raise URLError(err) urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')> [root@localhost downloads]#
"Connection refused". Pretty plain. That mirror has been having issues. Try again.
Another thing that bother me is why doesn't RPM go and take the
needed
files automatically ? I mean all the information is there: the names,
the
version..
That's what yum, up2date, and apt (not playing favorites, did I forget anyone?) are for.
[<Yigal>] so my question is: why doesn't RPM call those functions with the missing files as parameters?
Solving dependancies is the job of the dep solver (yum, etc.). RPM's job is package management.
