Ok, but the packages you installed are from cooker (10.0 rc1). It's not
considered a good thing to use them on 9.2. Things tend to break then. That's
why I provided backported 9.2 packages, and I suggest to use them on 9.2
instead of the cooker packages.
Btw, I don't understand why the mandrakeclub lists cooker packages, they
really shouldn't do that.
