Ah ... a 40rolling user :)

In order to test to see if rpm's would install, I put the recompiled 
rpm's in the 40rolling area.  I then tested and found that, sure enough, 
redhat had made these rpm's depend on packages that were not labled as 
'security updates' in Update 2.
These packages (openssh, and vixi-cron) were not put into the main errata.

So, first comment.  Pointing your updates to the 'rolling' area, is 
essentially like pointing your area to the 'rawhide' area.
Second comment.  Maybe Connie can put in the dependancies into the 
rolling area.  Which is pam, which requires audit, which requires 
glibc-headers.

p.s. My favorite dependancy this go round was evolution, which required 
the mozilla from Update 1 (hardcoded in, for that one version), and yet, 
we had to have the mozilla from the latest release to build other packages.
