klama has rpm-4.2-9mdk (with new requires/provides applied), thus
rpm-devel requires a bunch of devel() packages that don't exist yet, and
rpmlint requires rpm-devel. There is no way to get rpmlint onto klama
without --nodeps until glibc is rebuilt (remaing devel() deps have been
done already, bzip2, elf, and rpm). It is unfortunate that the rpm package
that added the new script had the deps applied to it ... but if it did
not, it would be unforunate that nothing would provide the new devel
requires => catch22.

Lets hope Gwenole (or whoever is working on glibc) hurries up ...
otherwise we might just have to start uploading unlinted packages.

Ben, if you don't have a cooker box to test with, put your SRPMS/RPMS
somewhere accessible (like klama), and post the location here, and someone
will take care of it, or (someone who still has rpmlint) can send you
rpmlint output. Olivier may also have a cooker box you can access if
necessary?
