Hi,

Now that in anaconda, during package selection, you can enable the "Updates" repository for a given release, has anyone thought of the following scenario?

- You select/enable the "Updates" repository

- Included in your selection of packages is package foo, available in both the "Fedora/" repository as well as the "Updates" repository

- Package foo (from "Updates") now requires package bar, which is in "Everything/" (not in "Fedora/"), but hasn't been updated since GA (e.g, is not available in the "Updates" repository)

This would cause failed dependencies if the "Updates" repository is enabled during installation, also enable the "Everything" repository.

Let me know if this doesn't make any sense.

You mean it is possible for someone to add repos to Anaconda which don't satisfy all the deps? I think that's been known for a long time. :)

however, your point about the user getting into that situation and not knowing how to fix it is a fair one.
