Which is what it should do. Depsolvers are becoming the defacto interface to the packaging system; responsibility may feel burdensome at times, but it's a pretty clear distinction to implement these processes at this level. The less magic RPM does, the better. Depsolvers are more fluid than RPM, which is why they should acquire the necessary complex logic. Heretofore mentioned bugzillas already clearly show why magic is a BadThing at the RPM level and that the depsolvers should be charged to make these decisions: > http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/130352 > http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/111071 > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/145091#c6 -- -jeff
