Yeah, it's a question of choice I guess.

I really think that people should use frontends to install packages, not
rpm directly. And using AutoReqProv avoids issues like above ;)

Well, that's my opinion, I'm open to discussion ;))
But I'm doing it that way since quite some time, darix got me onto that
trip AFAICR (or was it henne), and I never have people complain about it.
