To add a bit of info for Tim from my experiences with atrpms - there's a couple of packages (e.g. mozilla-firebird) that I would love to use from that repo but he has a support package (atrpms-utils or something??) that is required by most other packages. That util package requires yum from his repo (i.e. looks like the requires might specify his release and not just version), which makes the entire repository unusable if you need a custom/other yum rpm. Now, you're actually seeing the other side of the problem where you probably have a bunch of atrpms packages installed already (including yum) and they all depend on the atrpms yum package so you cannot remove/update yum without removing every other atrpms package that depends on it first. I bet you get a whole bunch of dependency removes when you do a "yum remove yum". Anyway, does the atrpms maintainer watch this list? Maybe we should shoot him a quick FWIW +1 vote on removing the unneeded Requires for yum in his util package or making it non-dependant on his release as seth suggested.. - Ryan
