Same issue with me.

I spent hours removing *.at rpm's that had me involved in dependency 
loops.  I had documented some of it but got frustrated and tired of 
the whole process that I just gave up trying to track what depended on 
what.  It was a mess.  I finally got things working and my notes were 
such a mess that I didn't have anything to submit as a bug but my 
complaints about the mess.  It is hard to submit bugs when there are 
so many packages that have to be removed and replaced.

My feelings are, when I have to remove multiple packages due to 
dependency headaches to install one package from another distro, then 
there is a problem.

In general.  When atrpms works as well as Dag or freshrpms, I will 
consider it again.
