Does your provides database include every file provided by every
package?

so that if you encounter:

Requires: /some/path/to/a/file

it can resolve it?

also how are you doing your versioned-dep calculation? Are you calling
out to rpm for the rpm version comparisons?


so if a pkg requires:
 foo > 1:1.2

how are you checking to see if the package foo-1.3-1 provides that
dependency or not?
