First, Guillaume has stated several times thta we cannot go back to the other
version of rpmdrake, due Mdk not having a graphical C/Gtk programmer on the
team. Second, forcing an install/remove is the WORST thing that you can allow
for a newbie that has no prior Linux experience. Hell, when I first started
using Linux I was using SuSE at the time and it had the option IN THE
INSTALLER to force install stuff without the deps. Of course this meant that
I had to spend a few days of reinstalling since I had b0rkd my installs bad.
It was only my roommate Aaron that showed me the reason behind the madness
that are dependancies.

You already have that feature. Just right click on the right pane to show more
information about the selected package, including source and current
installed version.
