This might also be the case:=20

Since the package _has_ requirements but none resolved, due to the fact
that Morten did not use the additional official repository, the
requirement dictionary has one 'None' element.

like this:=20

"req
bag=20
/bag=20
/req"=20

instead of=20

"req /req"

which should be accounted for already.

In earlier versions of rdfgen, we had rdfgen exit on first error, but
this proved to be a bad scheme, since we now use rdfgen automaticly on a
rpm tree, with different contributors that may or may not build packages
on an up to date system. To make the rest of the rdfs usable, we decided
to not exit on first error, but generate all rdfs, even if some would
not be usable.

You might still be correct though. :)
