repoclosure (last time I checked) compared requirements within 
repositories rather then spanning several repositories. I had written a 
similar utility to check dependencies across repositories[1] but it 
didn't pass.

Anyway, might that (not crossing repos to fulfill deps) be the actual 
problem? I haven't looked at it recently.
