    No.

    While I've used Linux for over a decade, test distros for much 
of that (an BZ's), I'm fairly new to FC-test. I'm not about to file 
a bug, either very quickly, or on every packaging error. Better to 
see if the next indent update fixes it. I did post the same indent 
message to the -devel list tho in a thread discussing causes of 
dups.

    I haven't had dep errs on the rpms you list, an particularly not 
for indent. Mine are currently elf\*, ltrace, an sysfsutils.  An 
they've lasted a few days more than normal, even for rawhide.

    I should say tho that FC devel is way ahead of, better organized 
an run, an with fewer 'niggles' than I'm used to with other 
distros.  Should'a come here sooner ;)
