Well, I think he's concerned about MISSING dependancies, which you certainly
will with --nodeps.
The mdk packages are different from others. Actually installing a non-mdk
package should raise MORE alarms than an mdk package, rather than less, because
it might not recognize when a packge IS actually installed.
Comments, MandrakeSoft?
