    Uhhuh, that sounds <cough> rather odd. What repositories have you
    defined in your sources.list? Another thing - have you done any --nodeps
    install/upgrade/remove operations directly with rpm? It certainly
    shouldn't want to remove each and every package but correct the missing
    one instead in that case...

    Feel free to mail me (privately since it's going to be BIG) the output
    of that with "-o debug::pkgproblemresolver=1" option set, that'll make
    it much much easier to see what's going on.
