Ok, what I still don't understand is: I am not adding
anything, just updating, so why did my already installed
packages now need 45 new things? It looks like 20 of them
are splitings of packages I already have, like esound and
gimp, so those I understand. But why do I need 25 new
packages? I just updated. I already had gimp, esound,
xemacs, xfree86 installed, so shouldn't all of their
dependencies be installed as well?
