Basically:  You have to tip toe around them; but FWIW I haven't gotten
all of them updated yet either.

Seriously:  Some of them you have to uninstall and then install the
dependencies, then reinstall.


A humorous reply:  That's why it's called the development branch -- we
be developing a way to get around stuff =)

LOL :-D
