I am not sure, but i think this is a package error in openssh-clients ..

[root@luke root]# urpme openssh-clients

error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
/usr/bin/ssh is needed by cvs-1.11.2-1mdk
[root@luke root]#

Why does it not tell me that it just need to remove cvs to satisfy
dependencies?
Why would this have anything to do with openssh-clients? It's cvs that is causing this "problem". It's also probably saying it because cvs doesn't require openssh-clients (the package); it requires the /usr/bin/ssh file (which can be provided by openssh or commercial ssh if people use that instead).

The "fix" is to have cvs require openssh-clients, but that's not good for people who want to use commercial ssh.

Not sure why urpme isn't making any noise about the cvs dependency on /usr/bin/ssh tho.
