Ok, its none of my businesses but I thoughts the same thing just as I
received the eMail.

[root@virgule andrew]# yum erase libxml2-devel
<SNIPED>
I will do the following:
[erase: libxml2-devel 2.5.4-3a.ppc]
I will erase these to satisfy the dependencies:
[deps: libgnomeprintui-devel 1.116.0-4a.ppc]
[deps: GConf2-devel 2.2.0-1.ppc]
[deps: eel2-devel 2.2.1-3.ppc]
[deps: libgnomeprint-devel 1.116.0-6.ppc]
[deps: gtkhtml2-devel 2.2.0-3.ppc]
[deps: gail-devel 1.2.0-1.ppc]
[deps: at-spi-devel 1.0.1-4.ppc]
[deps: libglade2-devel 2.0.1-3.ppc]
[deps: libgnome-devel 2.2.0.1-2a.ppc]
[deps: gstreamer-plugins-devel 0.6.0-6a.ppc]
[deps: libxslt-devel 1.0.25-1.ppc]
[deps: glade2 1.1.1-2.ppc]
[deps: libgnomeui-devel 2.2.0.1-5.ppc]
[deps: librsvg2-devel 2.2.3-1.ppc]
[deps: libgnomeprintui22-devel 2.2.1.1-1.ppc]
[deps: libbonoboui-devel 2.2.0-1.ppc]
[deps: gnome-vfs2-devel 2.2.2-1.ppc]
[deps: libgnomeprint22-devel 2.2.1.1-2.ppc]
[deps: libgnomecanvas-devel 2.2.0.1-1.ppc]
[deps: gnome-desktop-devel 2.2.0.1-4a.ppc]
[deps: bonobo-activation-devel 2.2.0-2.ppc]
[deps: libbonobo-devel 2.2.0-1.ppc]
[deps: gstreamer-devel 0.6.0-4.ppc]
Is this ok [y/N]:

Outstanding isn't it? :)

There is "rpm -Uvh --nodeps <file_name.ppc.rpm>" but I got flamed last
time I suggested this.. :) It seam to break stuffs easily.
