Please note that many libs in Mandrake have slightly different names to
allow for backwards compatibility I suppose. On my system

rpm -qa libgc*

gives:

libgcj-devel-2.96-4mdk
libgcj-2.96-4mdk
libgcc3.0-3.0.1-1mdk

locate blas gives me

/usr/lib/libblas.so.3.0

and

rpm -qf /usr/lib/libblas.so.3.0

gives me

liblapack3-3.0-3mdk.

I suggest you install these and uninstall the extraneous packages from RPM
find. I have never trusted updates myself; I keep my /home /usr/local and
/opt partitions and do a clean install after having saved my /etc
directory too.
