Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Cannot update from SR1 RC2 to RC3

Thanks John,

That perfectly explains. I vaguely remember that during one update from
a category-less repo I just selected various items that were marked as
having an update available. I didn't realize at that time that checking these
items would turn an indirect/implicit dependency into a hard dependency.
<sigh>

After "uninstalling" all these items (which of course didn't remove 
anything because they are still held by the SDK), updating now works.

No need to respin RC3 :)

thanks again,
Stephan
