I could be wrong of course. I'm sure you are;-) London to a brick, the _only_ rpms that will match dependencies are Ximian's, because Ximian can't be sure which RH RPM do match. Besides, RH has problems matching dependencies against Ximian, and I don't see how the revers would not also be true. I _can_ see how you could get false matches though, though I would need to sit down and match them myself to be sure it happens. > > > > > Tom > -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
