| Odd, I don't know how that could cause it. That commit was very
| specific.
This was the last commit I had in my local sources, not that this
commit caused the strange decisions from depsolver.

| Yes. I expect the depsolver to be broken right now. :)
Well, in my view this is a design decision:
o get new updates installed and possibly break some packages, but
keep them (yum cvs),
o refuse to do a rpm transaction that upgrade packages which might
break another packages, (a sort of workaround is the skip-broken plugin)
(old yum) or
o always keep the rpm db conflict free and possibly remove packages
to accomplish that (apt).
I prefer alt. 1) and later upgrade packages that are broken. I see
the current depsolver an improvement in this regard.
