You could have an earthquake, too.
If you're having problems rebuilding packages downstream from you, get a
provenpackager's help. I've done a few dozen such rebuilds for soname
changes over the course of F16 alone.
Of course, the accounts system _still_ doesn't have groups, five years
later, so provenpackager is the big hammer we have. We could get groups
any day now, that'd be just fine.
