+Agreed.  https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2097 has been reopened.
+That's the bug that originally showed the problem.
+
+The purpose of bug 2097 was to add an explicit requires of hugin,
+to kipi-plugins-expoblending.
+
+I thought adding hugin to updates would fix the problem, but it
+is not enough, as hugin requires enblend, which is in the
+core release repository, only.
+
+The only way to guarantee that we don't have broken updates, would
+be to copy everything shown by urpmq --requires-recursive, to
+updates testing, and then to updates.  Likewise for non-free
+and tainted updates.  That would be a nightmare of duplication.
+
+I believe mgaapplet must be modified.
