Hi,

One of the 3 calls is actually caused by a rug packaging bug (the
self-provides bug) and not the update system. But the updated update
system has a workaround, so it works after the 3rd call.

Would it be possible to avoid the 3rd call (where just rug is installed)
by using a virtual symbol?

The bug is caused by the rug package on the CDs having:

Provides: rug

which causes it to provide all versions.

Something like this could be added:

Provides: rug-fixed = %{version}-%{release}

The patch could then require rug-fixed instead of rug. Would it work?
