I think this is extremely annoying behavior and I wish I was disabled by default. Justification: I have an application, SuperFoo, installed. It has a dependency on IBM's Java Runtime Environment (JRE). I need to use Sun's JRE because IBM hasn't bothered to release one that likes gcc 3.2 yet. And I know from my usage that it works fine with Sun's JRE. SuperFoo is a proprietary application so I don't have the source for it. Having to repackage it every release to remove the stupid hard requirement on IBM-JDK is extremely annoying. So I can install SuperFoo with straight rpm -Uvh --nodeps. Life is good and I can use SuperFoo.Easy to fix: rpm -e --justdb SuperFoo That'll delete SuperFoo from your rpm database without deleting the actual files. That way your deps will work nicely and you have your package installed. Vox
