Well, it's not a mandrake rpm, so who knows what's in it.

But the problem you describe is GTK's fault.  If they keep the same .so
version of GTK and don't keep it backward-compatible, you will get
errors like that, and there's nothing we can do about it.

We can set minimums for apps newer than distro (like this app requires
gtk >= 2.5) but you're using an old rpm on a new distro.  How could
urpmi possibly know that it won't run?
