Your right but then I don't know why I received broken dependency mails
for the last couple of weeks/months but not, lets say, a year ago. The
package pyicq-t for EL4 has not changed since 2009 but I receive the
broken dependency mails only since a couple of weeks/months and not
since 2009. This is something which confuses me:
If python-twisted-* never existed for EL4, then pyicq-t should have
never made it into EL4 because of the dependency.

Me neither ;-) I'm not interested in EL4 just concerned about the broken
dependency mails I received so far.
