what kind of upgrade did jeff vian try?
I have no clue. Maybe there was a temporary conflict when the repository
was opened for public. I remember reports of libflac problems, but I think
they cleared up a few hours after. Only Jeff can tell.

'we' is who?!
RPMforge = FreshRPMS + Dag + Dries and (in the near future) PlanetCCRMA.
(We hope to have some more repositories join, but it won't scale if
everyone and his cat joins)
I'm sure Axel has good reason to. RPMforge's policy however is not to
replace non-leaf packages. (like libraries and system packages)
You're probably confused by now, but compatibility between repositories
does not mean we have the same policies about replacing packages. RPMforge
has a common policy about this and other topics.
