But what if a package in rpmforge requires a newer version of a package that is available in rpmforge but not in updates? Surely this is very likely to happen?
If a package in RPMForge requires another package from RPMForge that doesn't conflict with a package from Base or Updates, then the second package will be installed.
If a package in RPMForge requires another package from RPMForge that _does_ conflict with a package from Base or Updates, then the second package won't be installed, and neither will the first package. That's what's supposed to happen.
