How do I exclude unneeded files from channel updates

[Steve Morris]

Hi Anders,
     I am having extreme difficulties undertaking channel updates 
because of key failures on various info.xml.lzma files. These files are 
not required for channel updates, and the Mandriva equivalent of the 
smart gui interface only attempts to download these info files when the 
user requests additional information on a package. How do I exclude 
these info.xml.lzma files from the channel update process so that I can 
actually update all the channels?
     Also, is it possible to have the smart channel definitions use the 
same files as the Mandriva package manager, so that I can undertake 
channel updates in either package and have both see any changes?

regards,
Steve
