pungi ignores a lot of RPMs when building CD image

[Remy Bohmer]

Hello All,

I thought I got it...  But this is not true... I have now the problem
reversed :-(((

By changing the first letter of the product name to a capital, the
result was that I have now a CD image of 331 packages, where I need
362. Before this change, I had 31 packages...

The problem is still pkgorder, at the same location as mentioned below.

For some reason pkgorder is really stubborn, and still mixes up the
productname by changing the first letter of several packages. It does
not matter where the packages come from, either from the orignal
FC6-DVD , or from the FC6-Updates repo, or from my custom repo. Even
if I build without my own repo, does not matter.
Notice that a bug in pkgorder does not even tell anybody if it can
find a package at all, it just continuous, resulting in an incomplete
CD-image...

So, does anyone know how the location of a package is determined in
pkgorder? (I mean the relative path inside a repo, with the product
name)

It does NOT read it from Pungi configuration file (Tried to change it
completely, no result)
Tried to change the product name on the commandline of pkgorder -> no
result either...

So, nowhere in my tree I can find the wrong productname, and neither
does any change of any product_name setting help.

I really hope, someone can help me out here... I am starting to get
quite desperate about these tools... :-((
