+Here is the output when your profile is consistent:

+checkdeps: Calling YUM to check dependencies for package list
+checkdeps: YUM didn't need to add any packages, profile seems OK.
+}}}

+If we remove a package from the profile and run again, we get this:
+{{{

+checkdeps: Reading package list from target file gridgate.cs.tcd.ie.broken.xml
+checkdeps: Adding 1006 packages to install list
+checkdeps: Calling YUM to check dependencies for package list
+YUM wants to add 1 new packages that are missing from profile:
+
+Package                             Version                      Needed by
+================================================================================
+glite-security-voms-admin-interface 1.0.5-1.noarch               lcg-CE_torque
+}}}
+
+YUM detects a dependency problem and suggests a solution. The list of enabled repositories was generated from those contained in the profile, so the package suggested should be sensible.
+
+= TODO =
+ * Tool for automatically running createrepo on all Quattor repositories on the server
+ * Output Pan code for adding the missing packages
+ * Remove the need for a YUM config file
