Wait, what? You did /what/?!
Hey, you can't blame RPM for something up2date did.
Now up2date is demonstrably one of the worst package dependency
resolvers of all time (you just went a good way to demonstrating why)
and should be subjected to all the vitriol you can give it. Focus the
hate where it is most deserved.
Cheers,
