Mike,

I'm not surprised there were dozens of updates - that source is for 
Mandriva 2006, and you were running 2005LE, so you are now running a 
hybrid of 2006 and 2005LE, so some things might not work properly.

I suggest you go into MCC and delete all the sources for 2005LE, and 
then go to http://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/ and get a complete 
set of urpmi sources for 2006, then from a root terminal do

urpmi.update -caf && urpmi --auto-select

That will fully upgrade you to 2006.
