Seth, you seem to be deliberately muddying the issue, just as with the red herring 'closed source' thing. I chose acroread 7 as an example of a package with dependencies on a library which is absent from a later version of Core. Whether you can get the source or not is entirely irrelevant. Getting back to the point you were deviating from -- apparently the intention is that anaconda _will_ be able to handle such out-of-Core dependencies in FC5, which is why so many people are suggesting that the package-killing spree be postponed until FC5. -- dwmw2
