I posted here because I think that dependencies are developer issues and not user ones. From problems I detected, continuous upgrading is not tried before a new Fedora is released. For future releases I'd suggest someone keeps a box with complete installation (fedora, fedora-devel, rpm-fusion...) upgraded from Fedora 14->15 and test upgrading it to Fedora 16. I'd also suggest to people dealing with RPM to create a way of "cleaning" db. Inspecting the one in my box I discovered that there are "dead memories" from Fedora 12 !!! Next Sunday I'll upgrade another box. Then I'll try to extract records to supply to developers. This box promises to be hard because it's using an old NVIDIA GPU + manufacturer libraries (not nouveau that's not 3D accelerated). Besides, clamav requires /sbin/sysctl but does not install if as dependency (only complains missing /sbin/sysctl and does not install).
