Hi Marvin,

Thanks for running the tests with the sample implementation on
various distros. This is very valuable feedback and I will
address this with an update soon.

Well, some more polishing that is needed is documented in the BUGS
file that comes with the sample implementation. I will add your
comments/findings to the BUGS file to be able to track it and
will start addressing these BUGS with updates to the released
sample implementation.

You probably mean "--nodeps", because this is the switch I use and
this is the very strange thing that RedHat's RPM complains about
dependencies when called with the "--nodeps" parameter where it
should really not complain about any dependencies. I have
informed Matt about it and he promised to forward this to
the RedHat engineers and/or take a closer look into it.
