I can understand in the case where you have some knowledge of what the various package chains do. But for a lot of packages I have no clue and could care less (until I do and then I will be as cranky and unreasonable as if I had been asked a ton of questions). So in either way I would say that the package solver is in a un-winnable situation. They just need to choose one they can live/die with. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
