-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You would have noticed problems with libpng, which people had when running a hybrid stable/cooker system. This is what can happen, since you may be running two pieces of software which were compiled against two different, and incompatible verions of the same library, thus conflicting.
IMHO, if you can't stick with a stable release, then either run cooker (and be prepared for things to break often if you sync often), or rebuild cooker packages on your stable box (which is what I do). Of course, if you rebuild, you might still end up with a broken package, but at least you won't be mixing and matching libraries. Of course, if you try and update something like evolution, you will probably need a new gal, which will need a new bonobo, which will need a new GConf which will need a new .... However, something like Mozilla (if the stable Nautilus SRPM builds agains the new nautilus, and you are prepared to break Galeon until they release an updated version) shoulnd't be too bad. But don't use cooker packages (without recompiling) on a stable release, unless you know for a fact none of the libraries used have changed (usually quite unlikely). You should never need to use --nodeps when installing RPMs, otherwise you have done something wrong ... That said, I don't have the bandwidth to run cooker, so I could be totally wrong ...
