Since up2date now supports multiple repositories, this opens a
question
in my mind: what happens when you have distributed dependencies?
Here's a specific (though partially contrived) example:
- Install xmms-42.0 from Fedora Core
- Install xmms-mp3-42.0 from freshrpms because you live in a jurisdiction
where you are legally able to do so
What happens when Fedora Core releases xmms-42.1?
FC doesn't include xmms-mp3, but xmms-mp3 depends on xmms. Hence, the
upgrade of xmms will fail so as not to break xmms-mp3.
On an apt system apt will most likely warn you updating xmms requires
the removal of xmms-mp3.
