That's just the thing. It used to not care about unrelated dependencies. But now it does and it says that it must uninstall SuperFoo in order to continue. If I select Yes it allows my 'urpmi --auto-select' to continue and in fact it *does not* actually uninstall SuperFoo. I started this thread because this indicates to me that in the future urpmi will uninstall it, and that it doesn't currently uninstall it is merely a bug or an uncompleted feature. urpmi seems to be becoming like apt. I tried out apt4rpm once for giggles when I was running RH8 for a while. It wouldn't let me install any software at all because I had this unresolved dependency that was totally unrelated to anything I was installing (it was complaining about the JDK even though nothing I installed used Java). So apt4rpm was completely useless to me and was half the reason I returned to Cooker. -- Steve Fox http://k-lug.org
