Or one, I know what repository it is as that's where I obtained the metadata.

The problem is matching up the packages that are currently in the
repository, with the packages that were there before.

Is it not possible for one packager to package multiple versions of
the same named package within one repository?

e.g. amarok 2.0 and amarok 2.1 ?

I was wondering if there's a set of attributes that's guaranteed to be
unique, other than the checksum.
