So you get it in the next compose? If a maintainer noticed the problem before the build went out in a compose, you would only see the fixed one. If they saw it only after the compose, you should see the fixed one after that? > But you don't receive that one fast > enough, or you get a mix of "bad" updates while those that can update > daily without delays probably won't see the problem.

I didn't update for a week or so around flock, and had no particular problems. I have another rawhide machine at home that I sometimes don't update for days/weeks at a time anymore, and it's only had the occasional dep issue that was pretty easy to fix up/work around. Anyhow, if you have suggestions for improvement, I'm all ears. kevin
