Actually, as Pascal already pointed out: my real problems are the spec
files :-( y2pmbuild works fine, as long as spec files are created with a
clean chrooted environment in mind. But about half of them are not,
that's why I was sending so many diffs. And there are already some, I
could not fix to compile with y2pmbuild, like transcode, and now
kaffeine. I'm spending my second full day with fighting non y2pmbuild
compliant PackMan packages...

BTW: the kaffeine problem might be not PackMan specific, as I had this
earlier with SUSE packages too:

100 packages to install
unresolvable dependencies:
*** Conflicts ***
Name: avahi-compat-mDNSResponder
Edition: 0.6.5-15
Referers: kdelibs3-3.5.1-32 requires libdns_sd.so, kdelibs3-3.5.1-32
requires libdns_sd.so
Conflicts-With: avahi-compat-mDNSResponder-0.6.5-15 conflicts with
mDNSResponder, avahi-compat-mDNSResponder-0.6.5-15 conflicts with
mDNSResponder
Remove-To-Solve-Conflict: kdebase3-devel, kdelibs3-devel, mDNSResponder

Some other typical mistakes are leaving out:
update-desktop-files
xorg-x11-devel
pkgconfig

I would be really glad, if PackMan package maintainers outside SuSE
would also compile their packages with y2pmbuild, as my life would be a
lot more simple... Bye,
