Uh. 

Hard to come up with one right off the bat.

Make sure that up2date mod_python works when apache IS NOT installed.
Thats the simpliest case, and maybe up2date can do that by itself.

Then you'll need to find a case where a package depends on a file or a
library - I believe that is the case where solveDependancies() is
absolutely required.
