[ale] KDE reinstall

[Zyman, Andy]

Geoffrey,
So will it be correct to say that if i want to install Netcrap version 10
and it will require glibc version 7 than yast will reinstall practically
whole system?
than what will happened if program ASDF, somewhere in the middle of this
resolving dependencies process, doesn't have an rpm ?

I'm, somehow, under impression that .rpm files "belongs" or "owned" by rpm
tool and yast ( or any other tool) can't ( or doesn't have all options to )
deal with them.
// I can see whole alelist failing from their chairs :)
