Maybe you missed my point... i tend to be too subtle sometimes..... i want rpm fixed to actually use vendor information so when updates are calculated.. the vendor comes into the calculation in a different way than release number. Until we actually FIX rpm to have a native undestanding of package heritage from a vendor when doing an upgrade...then yes... all of this nashing of teeth about multi-vendor dynamics is a lost cause. I want rpm to be fixed to have a deep understand that packages can come from different vendors and that vendor-ness is essentially different than release-ness. In my pathetic little world rpm --Fvh should be able to work on a collection of packages from different vendors and rpm should be able to pick out updates that are from the save vendor as packages i have installed.... this is intuitive to me... and something i expect from a package system designed to deal with multiple vendors. -jef"refining the art of using a baseball bat as a subtle instrument of communication"spaleta
