With fatal effects on subsequent build jobs? Around half a dozen times
since Fedora Extras uses plague. (the typical shortest pkg name wins
during depsolving and provides something it must not provide) In those
cases somebody had to clean up the needsign repo after a packaged had
asked for help.

With other forms of dep breakage (that could become visible for
subsequent build jobs, too) it has happened more often, perhaps 1-2
times a week, and packagers usually fix it with rebuilds.
