+That has been a problem for Mandrake with Thac repo, a problem for
+Mandriva with MIB repo... and sometimes it took a long (wasted) time to
+understand that a reported bug was induced by something imported from
+third repo.
+NB plf repo was something else : mandriva devs worked on it !
+ I don't like such repos either and i hope that paid people fix things
