[issue214] incorrect 'no package provides ...' and incorrect '... is locked'

[Matt Callaway at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Matt Callaway <kindjal at gmail.com>:

Summary
-------
smart (install|upgrade) foopackage-server claims that "no package provides
foopackage", when it should see that "foopackage" provides "foopackage".

Then...

smart (install|upgrade) foopackage foopackage-server claims that "conflicted
package foopackage-server is locked".

# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
Kernel \r on an \m

# uname -a
Linux scan00.pipesecure.com 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 19 18:00:54 EDT 2005

# rpm -q smart
smart-0.42-1.rf

In this case "foopackage" is a personally built rpm of the "clamav" software
package.  Here I wrote a specfile for clamav that builds binary rpms for clamav,
clamav-server, clamav-libs.  clamav-server Requires: clamav-%{version}-%{release}.

RPMs build fine and if I install them with rpm (without smart), they install fine.

rpm -Uvh clamav clamav-server clamav-libs  # this works fine

# rpm -qp --provides clamav-0.88.4-1.x86_64.rpm
config(clamav) = 0.88.4-1
clamav = 0.88.4-1

# rpm -qpR clamav-server-0.88.4-1.x86_64.rpm |grep clamav|head -1
clamav = 0.88.4-1

# smart install clamav-server

# smart flag --show
multi-version

    kernel-smp

(Note that there are no locks)

I tried the nobiarch.patch from issue 177 to no avail.

I tried specifying @x86_64 on all package names to no avail.

I inspected the smart xml files and they correctly show the packages, provides
and requires, with the right version numbers present.

I can't figure out why:

1) clamav-server doesn't see that clamav provides clamav.
2) clamav-server is identified as "locked" when it isn't.
