Have you also noticed when doing cooker updates with rpmdrake how it
seems to download rpms that have no dependencies to other rpms. For
example, a while back i wanted to download XFree86, but it also insisted
on installing glibc and all its dependencies. When I ran rpm from a
command prompt, it installed X successfully (and functioned) without a
newer glibc.
