It attempts to put your system into a "all-dependencies are met" state (because apt won't work at all if there's problems). It hopefully does this by adding any missing packages (could be useful -- maybe a yum plugin could do this?), but if it can't, it removes any "troublemakers". That wouldn't be very yum-like (and probably a better approach for any such plugin would be to just list the packages with deps that can't be met anywhere). > -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
