That sounds fair regarding medley, but makes it hard for users to select the
correct ones.
How are we supposed to know which are good to select and which are likely to
cause problems ?
I'm currently in doubt how I should install the xmms-mp3 package.
livna is enabled and a "smart upgrade" shows no interesting package available
for the upgrade. When I try to install xmms-mp3 it starts computing
transaction for a very long time and comes up with a large list of things it
wants to install. I don't trust this at all and therefore didn't do this. I
have no idea why smart wants to install all these things either (most of the
packages are already installed I believe)
Below is the list of packages it wants to install.
I suppose I can safely upgrade/install/downgrade all packages if smart says
so, but I don't trust it. Can this be trusted ?
The list seems far to large to just enable my xmms to play some mp3's. A lot
of system files are in that list too, therefore I didn't agree with smart to
install. My system is running fine now and I don't want things to break just
because of the xmms-mp3 package.

Marcel
