When using multiple repositories (10.3 and Packman in my case) which have
different versions of the same packages, the dependency solver always selects
the newest version of package without any regards to other already installed
packages.

Example:

1) install fftw3 from openSUSE 10.3 [fftw3-3.1.2-62]
2) select either fftw3-devel or "install all matching -devel" and
fftw3-devel-3.1.2-142.pm.3 (i.e. package from Packman repository) gets selected
3) resolver complains about missing dependencies (due to different package
vendor)

Such warnings can get extremely confusing and annoying for users.

Also note that higher release of a package in repository1 isn't necessarily to
be more up-to-date than lower release in repository2.
