I guess the meaning of problem is:
When you want to compile RPMs from source, it can never compile because of
cyclic dependency.
If I get it correctly usually those machines (qa? b_? or other
mandrakesoft.com machines?) used for building RPMs already have older RPMs
so it will be upgraded step by step, and the versions of packages won't
jump suddenly.......?
