Harry:

use rpmdrake. or mandrakeupdate. it will take care of all the 
dependencies for you.
join mandrakeclub, if you havent already, for all the latest rpms (no, 
that was not a shameless plug)

sticking to the rpms (made by mandrake) for Mandrake is a good idea in 
general as it will maintain the integrity of the file locations and shit 
like that. I've found that the security rpms come out very regularly and 
as do many commonly used services. mandrakeupdate will do all the nasty 
stuff for you.
