@AL13N, not an upgrade-related bug (how many other reports did you set as blocking 56?).

all the ones that were working in mandriva 2010.1 and not anymore after upgrading to mageia 1 alpha 2.

i think you are mistaken in removing all those dependencies, wasn't the tracker specifically made to make sure the upgrade path is valid? and completely successfull?

i don't think this tracker is just used for direct upgrade errors during installation itself. all broken packages after installation are IMHO also blocking the upgrade.

The scope of bug 56 is "bugs that happen during the upgrade process", e.g.:
- if an mdv package doesn't get replaced by its mga counterpart (e.g. task-x11-2010.1 in mdv and task-x11-1- in mga)
- if there're file conflicts due to files moving from one package to another
- if the post/postun scriptlets don't get executed due to name change (e.g. mandriva-gfxboot-theme >> mageia-gfxboot-theme)

Let's take this bug report for example, it's about a bug in mageia-gfxboot-theme, it's not an upgrade issue simply because you'd get the same exact bug with a clean install of Alpha1.

Another issue is, what's the point of marking bug reports that have already been _fixed_ as blocking of a tracker bug? the whole point of having a tracker is to easily examine all the reports that block it to fix them, if they're already fixed, what's the point?
