Note that Conflicts: with missing values are broken in RPM.

Note also that
	rpm -Vp --nofiles --noscripts *.rpm
is an even simpler detection scheme.

So don't. Missing dependency detction is rather easy to automate, and is
the common complaint for aggregations of *.rpm packages. If you need
every detail perfectly verified instantly, then note that the assertion
	... speed is the major problem.
isn't as big a problem as apathy is.
