It depends upon the order the package are examined, because it is not a global match but only a local one (inherited from old algorithms of urpmi which has not been severely modified in essence). I have to fix some things about that, it has not been fixed completely. First fixes were done when kde has been libified. Anyway, when you can get such behaviour, please make a bug report using urpmi because I may not be capable of reproducing them, bug report have been done for that, please use them. Fran�ois.
