Where is this limitation on force set? Assuming the reoirt if generated output is verbatim, I beleive this is behaving as you desire. Usually the "Excluding up-to-date packages" line includes what I believe is one dot per package so excluded. I would argue a better notification would be something like: 'R' and 'f' options specifed - skipping up-to-date dependency checks. Robert Huff
