That is exactly what I wanted to say.
A daily report is really not a problem for me.
What that make me crazy is the fact that this broken dependency isn't yet 
fixed and exist since before the FC-5 release.
I think that is unacceptable for a tool used by packagers.

Sorry for that slanging match, but I think I'm right...

Yours sincerely,
Alain
