this is one of those situations where you may have to try a few different
things before you get it sorted out.

your best bet to start with is to re-install urpmi and see what it says
in the dependecies stuff when you try. obvously you can't re-install
it with urpmi itself, so you'll have to use 'rpm'.

find out which cdrom's got the urpmi package on it - probably cd1 - and
insert that and mount it (probably mounted automatically by your window
manager or whatever). then do

rpm -e urpmi

to uninstall the existing one. this will probably chuck out a whole load
of dependency errors and you can either uninstall everything that depends
on it (by adding them to the command line above) or run rpm with
--nodeps. the latter is probably your best bet at this stage:

rpm --nodeps -e urpmi

then reinstall urpmi:

rpm -ivh <path to cdrom>/<path to rpms>/urpmi..... (whatever the file's
called)

this may chuck out some dependency errors - which will hopefully give you
an idea of what package you'll need to re-install to get the urpmi perl
module that's missing. re-install that the same way.
