I have installed RPM's and had the system tell me that weren't
installed.  (I believe the intial complaint)  So I reninstall and it
tells me that it can't because they are already installed.  This has
happend on more than one occasion.  So I DO know of what I speak.  Ever
try to take off a small utility and have it decide to uninstall Gnome
because of 'dependency' issues? I have.  They are great when they work,
but when they don't .....
