Bug in QA:Testcase_Mediakit_Repoclosure

[James Laska]

Greetings,

In bug#567706, Andre Robatino asked whether the test case
QA:Testcase_Mediakit_Repoclosure [1] should have found the reported
issue.  I suspect it should have.

While retesting, it appears that the following repoclosure command
correctly identifies the missing dependency:

        $ repoclosure --repofrompath=media,/media -a x86_64 -r media -n
        Added media repo from /media
        Reading in repository metadata - please wait....
        Checking Dependencies
        Repos looked at: 1
           media
        Num Packages in Repos: 3256
        package:
        1:xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-0.20100205gite75dd23.fc13.x86_64
        from media
          unresolved deps: 
             kernel-drm-nouveau = 0:15

However, when run without the '-n' option, as documented in the test
case [1], it does not detect bug#567706.

        repoclosure --repofrompath=media,/media -a x86_64 -r media 
        Added media repo from /media
        Reading in repository metadata - please wait....
        Checking Dependencies
        Repos looked at: 1
           media
        Num Packages in Repos: 3261

Afaik, the packages on the mediakit should not contain multiple versions
of a package, so I'm unclear why adding the -n|--newest flag captures
the missing deps.

Thanks,
James
