Yeah, as I said in my original note I know I can bypass it with the --nodeps
option. My main concern was that it also popped up a big failed dependency
error message during installation if you are installing a self-updated M6
distribution from the HD (or a burned CD), which is only bad if I burn some
updated M6 CD's and hand them to some easily-scared newbies to try out.
But the recent 6mdk rpm Chmouel mentioned doesn't have that messed up
dependency, so all is well. :)
