Having been a regular Mandriva user for years (multi platform now), you need to be sure your sources are good, perhaps it's in the Cooker repository, not base, or heaven forbid PLF (penguin liberation front).

also, libgcj.so.6 is different than libgcj6, you may be trying to install the wrong dependency... Welcome to dependency hell, let me be the first to welcome you!

check your sources, and if you don't know if you are current, use http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to reset them as the previous poster said.

that should take of dependencies and all.
      
That 'urpmi' command did not work, 
    
It would if you had a valid sources defined and the file was on one of the sources.

  
but searching the 'net I found that I needed to use this syntax: 
# urpmi libgcj6-4.0.1-5mdk.i586.rpm 

    
This form is used when you want to install a file that you have already downloaded.

  
However, when I did that, I still got the response shown below: 

Some package requested cannot be installed:
libgcj6-4.0.1-5mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied libgcj6-base[== 4.0.1])
Continue? (Y/n) 

So, I searched the 'net again and found this: 
http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/cooker/2006-03/msg00506.php 
Subject: [Cooker] [Bug 15405] [perl-Libconf] RESOLVED: 
Failed Install of drakxtools-ng b/c unsatisfied perl(Libconf::System::Users)
drakxtools-ng was removed from contribs, as it was deprecated and
unmaintained. Seems like libconf::system has not been packaged, 
as now is separated from general libconf

    
This information may only apply to cooker, not the stable distribution...

  
However, no information is provided to explain how to overcome this problem? 
So what do I need to do to get this 'urpmi' to work? 

    
Try going to the 'easy Urpmi' website and setting up sources for main, contrib,
etc.. ( Remove any invalid sources first -> urpmi.removemedia -a )
