Dependencies that only say the minimum version needed, but don't list the
maximum. Using your example: your snx101view requires the open-ended
imlib>=1.9.14nb5. This matches 1.9.14nb7 which provided
libgdk_imlib.so.1.9.14, but you needed libgdk_imlib.so.10.

Yes, they will be in the depot directories. I believe you can only have
one package in the default view. Anyways this won't help this problem.
