Every day I run into dependency problems like this, just with Rawhide rpms,
not even third part ones:
$ yum update phonon*
Error: Missing Dependency: phonon = 4.2.0-1.fc10 is needed by package
phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.2.0-1.fc10.x86_64 (installed)
$ yum update digikam*
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/icons/oxygen/128x128/apps/digikam.png from install of
digikam-0.10.0-0.1.beta2.fc10.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
oxygen-icon-theme-4.1.0-1.fc10.noarch
Just wondering.. but can't soft dependencies solve this image problem
(should come in RPM 4.6 [1])?
Or am i getting the wrong idea about soft dependencies?
[1]

Neither of these dependency issues is flagged in: "rawhide
report: 20080802
changes"
It would really help if yum would automatically skip any rpm that conflicted
with any *installed* rpm. Both for Rawhide and third-party rpms.
