+
+Exactly, if a package selected by rpmsrate has a dependency that is not
+available (for example "skipped"), this package is unselected as well as
+a lot more packages selected by rpmsrate.
+
+This is likely a bug in the DrakX package selection code.
+
+Thierry, maybe you have some ideas about this issue?
+Do you want logs to show the issue?
+
+We would be very happy not to have to specify the leaves in the dep
+chain if we can skip only one dependency.
+
+Cheers
