My experience with synaptic (not extensive, admittedly) is that it resolves rpm dependency problems by removing the packages it doesn't like. If you have custom built packages that don't exactly match what is in the distribution database, then bye-bye custom packages. I never found any way to configure this behavior, like the rpm "--nodeps" switch. > Is there a way to prevent it happening again? Other than "don't use synaptic?" I never found one. IMHO, Red Carpet is much nicer in this way. -- -John (JohnThompson@xxxxxxxxxx)
