Sorry, I wasn't clear and this wouldn't help. Here's an example:
ConsoleKit (G:B) needs glib2 (G:F). gnome-session (G:F) needs ConsoleKit (G:B).
Whatever we do, there'll be a package that needs G:F and is needed by G:F.
this is only a problem for openSUSE 11.x (with other words non-Factory users),correct? depending on gnome-session in G:F needs the latest ConsoleKit to work /compile at all: needs latest ConsoleKit: G:F: ConsoleKit gnome-session G:B glib2 does not need latest ConsoleKit: not forcing the latest (possibly unstable or completely nonworking version for older distros) ConsoleKit onto users is preferred, so: X11:common:Factory ConsoleKit G:B glib2 G:F gnome-session (build against G:B for old dists and X11:common:Factory for factory). if you would use X11:common:Factory more for such packages that are shared by GNOME+KDE would definitely help the KDE team. we frequently get complains from users that try to use GNOME:Factory and KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop that we rely on two different versions of common packages, which breaks one or the other desktop in horrible ways.
