This is a generic issue that deserves at least some ranting, although not particularly at you. As long as the distro requires the use of a repository that by policy excludes things that almost everyone needs we are pretty much forced to use 3rd party repositories that almost by definition are uncoordinated in a way that makes their interaction unpredictable and any defensive configuration measures likely to fail. I don't see any possibility of changing this, so what else is there to do but rant? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
