Does putting the rpm name in /etc/urpmi/skip.list stop the attempted

to stick with apache thanks).
Do you have a specific reason to stay with Apache 1.3?

I noticed that urpmi now tries to figure out all the unresolved
dependencies on your system just like how apt does. I think this is
extremely annoying behavior and I wish I was disabled by default.
Justification:
I have an application, SuperFoo, installed. It has a dependency on IBM's

That'll delete SuperFoo from your rpm database without deleting the
actual files. That way your deps will work nicely and you have your
package installed.
