These all seem to be because perl-Archive-Zip is in the "Client"
channel, and the script is checking against the "Server" channel. 
At least I think thats whats going on, can someone confirm?

So, we need to request that they get added to server?

Not sure whats going on here... thunderbird is available...

Not sure here, perhaps something is messed up in the ppc repo...
missing gdb and kernel? The others are the same as above for i386.

Same as i386.

My centos box says this is provided by: 
0:evolution-2.8.0-40.el5_1.1.x86_64

> irssi-0.8.10-6.a.el5.i386  requires  libperl.so

libperl.so should be there, provided by perl.i386

Same as above. 

Running a repoclosure here on a centos5-x86_64 box I get: 

(some centos broken deps that don't matter here, and)
package: thunderbird-lightning-wcap - 0.7-10.el5.x86_64 from epel
  unresolved deps: 
     thunderbird-lightning = 0:0.7

Which seems like a legit broken dep, but didn't appear in the above
report at all. :(

So there are a lot of false positives here... 
I will try and see if I can see whats going on with the repos that this
script is running against, and try running the script against centos
here to see if I can figure out whats going on.
