I guess we are missing a specific Requires, which one ?
If package X requires Y and package Y requires Z, I believe that we
are missing package Z.

The same n-v-r works on an installed rawhide and not on a livedvd. Has
anyone removed a Requires from a libX??? or mesa-??? for some reason ?

Have anyone encountered other package aside alliance which is
suffering with such symptoms ?
