Broken (glibc) dependencies in f19 update-repository metadata

[Panu Matilainen]

Something is broken wrt f19 updates and updates-testing repo metadata, 
note the required glibc version between the rpm version in main repo vs 
updates-testing:

[root at mursu ~]# repoquery --releasever=19 --enablerepo=updates-testing 
--requires rpm-build-4.11.0.1-2.fc19.x86_64|grep ^libc.so
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.17)(64bit)
[root at mursu ~]# repoquery --releasever=19 --enablerepo=updates-testing 
--requires rpm-build-4.11.1-1.fc19.x86_64|grep ^libc.so
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.8)(64bit)
[root at mursu ~]#

rpm-build-4.11.1-1.fc19 from updates-testing does require much newer 
glibc than 2.8 though, just like 4.11.0.1 does:

[root at mursu packages]# rpm -qp --requires 
rpm-build-4.11.1-1.fc19.x86_64.rpm |grep ^libc.so
libc.so.6()(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.17)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.8)(64bit)
[root at mursu packages]#

This isn't specific to that rpm package either, NONE of the packages in 
current updates or updates-testing require glibc version > 2.9, which 
really cannot be true:

[root at mursu packages]# repoquery --releasever=19 --disablerepo="*" 
--enablerepo=updates --requires -a|grep ^libc.so|sort -u
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)

The main f19 repodata seems ok though, and I wasn't able to reproduce 
this locally so perhaps it has something to do with the way the f19 
update-repositories metadata is created/updated rather than createrepo 
bug wrt glibc collapsing, but dunno. Also f18 update-repos dont seem to 
be affected, the libc.so requires there seem sane to me.
