Don't do this unless you absolutely *have* to. Some of the dependency checking is making sure you have the right version of shared libs. Get the wrong ones and *boom*. This way lies madness, otherwise known as rpm-hell. In this case, if 2 rpm packages depend on each other, simply install them at the same time (as per my previous email). Cheers, Rex
