This is a really truly great program that I've come to rely on heavily. There is one feature that I at least would get a good deal of mileage out of. If you're using repositories that have some conflicting package and try to update, there is no way to have yum make dependency loops be non-fatal errors. For example, right now, if I run yum update, I get the following, due to ATrpms not repackaging tetex-latex and tetex-afm: Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies =2E....identical dependency loop exceeded package tetex-latex needs tetex =3D 1.0.7 (not provided) package tetex-afm needs tetex =3D 1.0.7 (not provided) And yum stops and refuses to update any packages until the user resolves this issue. If yum could simply say to itself "Hey, I cannot update this package because of a dependency loop -- I'll simply not update that package, and update everything else that I can", it'd be great. Currently, it's possible to manually work around this by adding and removing packages to the exclude list, but this isn't a very good long-term solution. I'm not sure how difficult this would be, since I haven't looked at the dependency calculation code -- it might be very trivial... I thought that -t might do this, but alas, it does not. --=20 Best of luck, Mark Schreiber --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/C6ConEKq+rRLXw0RAgTtAJ9CuoRqMCgwmzuUL9R0SPfb/b6G9wCfcmVP PiCKWrz6CUzLvW2mo1/5CJ0= =qN3F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0--
