 Depcheck should reject packages with soname bumps, when the dependant
 packages haven't all been rebuilt. See e.g.
 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-18509 :

 tagged in f18:
 {{{
 geos-3.3.2-3.fc18,    provides: libgeos-3.3.2.so()(64bit)
 player-3.0.2-20.fc18, requires: libgeos-3.3.2.so()(64bit)
 }}}

 the candidate builds:
 {{{
 geos-3.3.6-1.fc18,    provides: libgeos-3.3.6.so()(64bit)
 player-3.0.2-21.fc18, requires: libgeos-3.3.2.so()(64bit)
 }}}

 This above should fail depcheck, because player-3.0.2-21.fc18 hasn't been
 rebuilt for the new soname. However, the depcheck tests passed:

  - http://autoqa.fedoraproject.org/report/j0u5 (i386)

Comment (by kparal):

 Thanks for the report. The sad truth is that depcheck not only misses
 things, it also reports some errors when it shouldn't. We plan to replace
 it in the future with something simplified, that doesn't catch all
 problems, but doesn't produce false negatives.
