What is this:

Understand the urpmchecker module:

How it works ?

• a rpm
• a hdlist.cz (not synthesis, please take care)
• a glob entry, it will try to find *.rpm within, can be simply a dir.

Repository level:

update flag:

Error messages:

BIN
This src package does produce any binary...

BINO
This src package produce binary but in another repository.

CFL
Those rpms contains same file, but files are differents, and those rpm do
not explicitly conflict. rpm will be unable to handle this safety.

CFLO
Those rpms contains same files but files are not own by same user or group.
If those files come from server apps, or contains secret password,
it can create a security hole.

CFLP
Those rpms contains same files but without same permissions.
If those files come from server apps, or contains secret password, 
it can create a security hole.

CFLT
Those rpms contains same file, but files have differents type
(dir vs link, file vs link), those rpm do not explicitly conflict,
rpm will be unable to handle this safety.

DEP
This requirement is missing in the distrib, installation or
building is impossible, maybe it need a rebuild.

DEPB
The package depend on an old o an obsolete package, if thie requirement is remove,
the package will become uninstallable.

DEPO
This requirement is present but in a sublevel repository, you can
install or build it only if you have the second repository in your config.

DIRM
A file is installed by a rpm but no rpm own parent dir.
This mean uninstall the rpm, the parent dir will not be removed.

DIRO
A file is installed but the rpm which parent directory is in
repository level highter. To cleanly install, you should have this level.

OBS
The package in level x is always obsolete by another in level y, 
then why it is in distro? If a package obsolete itself, there is a problem :)

REB
This src need to be build, binary are not found, or not up to date.

SRC
This binary does not have a src.

SRCO
This binary have a src but in another repository.

VER
An highter version of this package was found, so it shoulb be removed.

VERM
Two binary from same source was found, but do not come from same version
of source package, this mean the rpm is obsolete, or old. You should check
if this package should be remove.

VERT
This version of rpm is list twice, it will never update somethings.

Distlint script:

Standard mode:

Interactive mode

Example:

• I have only hdlist, in my urpmi dir
  
• I add main without checking
• I add contrib
• I add plf, but some package on plf provide update to the official distro
