3	3	One of the annoying things about Quattor is that you can't check that a package set defined in a profile is consistent, i.e. that it doesn't require any more packages added to resolve dependencies. This can result in a frustrating sequence of "tweak package list, deploy profiles, run SPMA, check for dependency errors". The problem is that dependency information is not available when compiling profiles.

The following recipe gives details of using YUM and a python utility called {{{checkdeps}}} (available at [source:SCDB/trunk/src/utils/profiles/checkdeps src/utils/profiles/checkdeps]) to detect dependency problems and suggest a solution. I've found that it takes about 30 seconds to check a profile, so you probably only want to do this for profiles that are causing problems, or as a final pre-deployment check.
