My RPMs are a mix of official from Red Hat/Ximian/whoever, and also from
various developers who chose to make an RPM of their software available.  Most
of these have not been --force or --nodeps installed.  Even several of the
RPMs installed from Heli... er, Ximian via Helix Update were in the list to be
forcefully removed, which I find puzzling.  You would think that Ximian's RPMs
would be dependency-correct, wouldn't you?  :)

Man, I wish I'd kept my mouth shut... this thread I started is annoying. :)
