I was trying to install XFree86 3.3.6.  This requires a new module called
kudzu and this requires a new version of newt.  However, there are a bunch
of existing packages that depend on the old version of newt (BTW, shouldn't
they be backward compatible so that I can use a newer version of the
libraries with older applications?).  So I can't install the newer version
of newt because of the old packages and I can't install kudzu because it
requires the newest version newt.  It would be good to be able to have
libnewt.so.0.50 and libnewt.so.0.40 installed at the same time so that
everything works.

[root@granite X]# rpm -ih kudzu-0.26-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libnewt.so.0.50 is needed by kudzu-0.26-1
