Only I was wrong.  That's fixed that part of the problem.  Once the packages
are in, they've got the wrong provides.  To the extent that a package doesn't
provide itself, if you see what I mean.

I had a fish in /usr/share/rhn/server/importLib/headerSource.py but I'm not
exactly sure what I'm looking for.

I can see it go into _populateDependencyInformation and it seems to run
through the provides with empty name/version/flags.

I've tried the odd horrible hack with only partial joy.  Help!
