Trying to avoid --nodeps?? Never, never, never use nodeps is the
fundamental rule with rpm's. If you used that option just once in an
upgrade, you hosed the upgrade. If you do an upgrade manually then you
have to go thru the entire list of dependencies and install them until
you can install the packages that you want. NEVER means NEVER not
sometimes or most of the time. Just pretend that the --nodeps option
does not exist unless you get your kicks fixing broken software then use
it all you want but please don't bother me with your problems.
