If you use Smart in this case, Smart will simply know that vcdimager has unmet dependencies and will propose not to use this version of vcdimager, but an older one that does not require libcdio or libiso9660. Isn't that what a package manager ought to do ? Make it easy for you to install packages, despite the fact that there are unmet dependencies. Apt would handle this better too, althought only Smart would be smart enough to downgrade rather than to fail to continue with the rest of the transaction. PS There's an older vcdimager shipped by freshrpms and my repository that would have worked but is not considered by Yum in this case. Executive summary: use smart :) -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
