Yes, I read that.  But it, like everything else I found, it
doesn't really say *why* these problems occur.  If package
X-2.0 requires package Y-1.3, why does it matter if package
Y-1.3 (or X-2.0) comes from Livna or Freshrpms?  I can see 
that sometimes someone might compile a package with some 
odd options, but wouldn't (shouldn't?) that be rather rare?
I'm sure my understanding is missing something here which
is why I wanted to read a more comprehensive description
of this problem.

I wonder if this is the wrong place to ask.  Maybe I should
be asking on some fedora developer or packager list.
