To check the dependencies of an installed package, a "transaction" is
created, and the package is added to the transaction. The transaction
is then checked with rpmdepCheck(). However, since the installed
package has not been marked for removal, a conflict can be triggered
between the installed and that of transaction copies of the package.
The right thing to do is to mark package for removal, re-add it to
the transaction, and then to check the dependencies.
Header instance is its number in /var/lib/rpm/Packages database.
When a header comes from the database, it is sometimes useful to know
its instance (I need this to adjust verify.c:verifyDependencies() for
self-conflicting packages). On the contrary, setting instance numbers
should happen only within librpmdb, which is why headerSetInstance()
comes with hidden visibility.
Only for the last two weeks or so, the issues has been raised twice.
By specifying "Provides: foo, Conflicts: foo", people expect that
other packages which provide "foo" will not be installed along with
the package. What people don't anticipate is that the package will
conflict with itself, and will not be installed at all. This is where
apt and rpm differ. In apt, "conflicts may never self match". In rpm,
Requires and Conflicts are handled in exactly the same way, except that
Requires should match, and Conflicts should not match (I call this
a symmetry). Both can match against the package they come from.
So, to permit self-conflicting packages, I have to break the symmetry
and pass additional argument which indicates the type of dependency
being processed (either Requires or Conflicts). The code is then
adjusted to discard self-matching Conflicts.
Obsoletes should be handled specially, too. In tsSatisfiesDepend(),
I attempt to handle the Obsoletes case as well. It is rather
unfortunate that, in rpmdepCheck(), Obsoletes are simply not checked
just yet.
Let's try to use recent libbeectypt in our World Best RPM.

My previous assumption that strdup() was not needed for dbProvCache keys
was wrong. The keys point to header memory, which is right. However,
those are not only ts->addedPackages and ts->erasedPackages headers.
In checkDependent(), headers come from rpmdb and are disposed immediately
after the check.
For erasedPackages, the dirIndex and provIndex are unused, and
thus should not be created at all. There is arguably a better
option - to provide explicit alMakeIndex and alFreeIndex API.

However, we do not use full-blown printDepend-based caching (i.e.
we no longer cache depends with versions). This is because, well,
dependency versions are likely to differ. This is especially true
if we consider upcoming set-versions for soname symbols - hashing
symbol sets here will be just a waste of time and memory. And so
now we cache satisfied/unsatisfied depends by just name. Thus,
"yes" hit can be used immediately only for unversioned dependences.

Before this change, only rpm headers for addedPackages were loaded
during transaction; for removedPackages, we only stored the list
of rpmdb header numbers (numeric instances). With this change,
removedPackages' headers are getting loaded, too (the list is called
erasedPackages). The reason is that, when a header is loaded,
it is possible to use pointers to point e.g. into header strings
without using strdup. This might come useful as we try to reimplement
the depends cache.

Some code (e.g. apt/genpkglist) explicitly relies on the fact that
header file list is represented with baseNames+dirNames+dirIndexes
arrays. Thus, generating legacy headers might have issues, and should
be disabled.
