It would be nice if you could propose some kind of a material solution to this problem. If such a yum plugin came into existence it would have been relatively easy and straightforward to package it for RPMForge and enforce or advise it's installation along with the package, providing the repo itself. So far: 1) Yum developers consistently refuse to make yum more resilient (read fix yum), with no argumentation other than "apt does way too much more work than it normally should, yum works with healthy repos and is not expected to work with 'broken' ones" 2) Yum skip-broken plugin finally appeared to solve the most blatant issues, but is at present time ignored by most of the yum users anyway 3) No plugin exists to make yum's behavior more apt-like That's pretty much it. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
