I totally appreciate that for packages which are being upgraded/installed. But for stuff that's not being modified, it shouldn't worry about it. The whole "all dependencies must always be resolved" is nice if you live in your closed little world where smart packagers like Mandrake create proper dependencies. But in the Real World (tm), there are idiots who package things to fit in their little world. They won't listen to me when I say to use a "Requires: java" instead of "Requires: IBM-JDK". -- Steve Fox http://k-lug.org
