Believe me, you can. You only created a completely different test-case,
which may not suffer from the same problem.

How to reproduce:

  1. Use Fedora 22.
  2. dnf install blktap-devel --disablerepo=updates-testing

It is important to not pull in the fixed test update for blktap.
What happens?

Dependency problem is only found during transaction check, i.e. after
the "Dependencies resolved" step and after downloading packages.

# dnf install blktap-devel --disablerepo=updates-testing

Running transaction check
Error: transaction check vs depsolve:

To diagnose the problem, try running: 'rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest'.
You probably have corrupted RPMDB, running 'rpm --rebuilddb' might fix the issue.
The downloaded packages were saved in cache till the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'
