Problem with MiKTeX update wizard (2.9)

Hi all,

When I want to update my packages, all packages that start with 
miktex-... (the name is underlined, the package is checked) must be 
repaired ("To Be Repaired", while MiKTeX works fine on my machine). I do 
the update _successfully_. And if I make again an update, I find the 
same packages...

Best regards,

Jean Filleau

miktex "observes" its own packages and "repairs" them when files in
this packages have been changed - this doesn't neeed to be fatal
changes. I think change dates or some file attributes can trigger
the "repair".

If you have a multiuser installation run the update manager in both
modes (admin and user mode).

If you have a network installation check if you have installed
things in a roaming profile.
