I had a problem installing Intel video driver.
Problem is caused by lib64xcb-util1-0.3.9-69.1-mib2012.1.x86_64.

was enough to successfully install it, but it would be good to fix this reference.

A requested package cannot be installed:
x11-driver-video-intel-2.21.13-69.1-mib2012.1.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied lib64xcb-util1-0.3.9-2-rosa2012.1.x86_64)

urpmi x11-driver-video-intel --allow-force --force

Sorry Viking, AFAICT there is nothing wrong in our rpm:
it sounds like a problem with the dependencies resolving in the latest urpmi because we have in our repository the requested rpm for lib64xcb-util1 so it should pick up this one rather than the standard rosa2012.1 because of the different release number (69.1 being major than 2) but it does not; moreover I found that the problem appears only with urpmi: if you directly go with "rpm -Uvh" on a previously downloaded rpm for the above driver, then the rpm installs without any dependency trouble...

A log with urpmi --verbose of the above problem could also help to investigate why it happens: perhaps this deserves a bug notice on the Rosa bugzilla...
