Hi!
The SMART package manager has a nice feature, which shows dependency problems
even for uninstalled packages ("Edit"->"Check All Packages"). On my system
only the official SUSE repositories and Packman are active and using this
feature shows a lot of Packman packages having unresolvable dependencies. For
some of the packages I checked myself if SMART is right about it and it seems
like SMART really has a point with what it's saying:

From what I see a real lot of Packman packages seem to be broken (in the sense
that they can't be installed/upgraded because of unresolved dependencies). To
me it seems like a good idea if packagers could use this SMART feature as a
basic QA measure to minimize package breakage in the future.
Thanks in advance for fixing these problems and a happy New Year to all of
you!
Regards,
Stefan
