Resolving deps for metacity updates

Hi,

Aaron: according to the recipients ("To:"), you sent this to rhl-list,
according to the other headers ("Received:") directly to me. You may
need to fix your Lotus notes settings.

You try to install Rawhide -- very much post-9 -- packages on 8.0. You
need at least Red Hat Linux 9, possibly with updates to fulfil the above
dependencies. It isn't "guaranteed" to work even on 9 -- it may do, but
it may also fail.
