#442: depcheck crashes on fc19 with AttributeError: 'MetaSackRPMDB' object has no attribute 'returnObsoletePackages' ---------------------+---------------------- Reporter: tflink | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Depcheck Component: tests | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: ---------------------+---------------------- depcheck is crashing almost every time (116 crashes in 118 runs) on fc19. The common crash seems to look like this [http://autoqa- stg.fedoraproject.org/results/242568-autotest/virt10.qa/debug/client.0.DEBUG example crash log]

On the bright side, it seems to not happen on fc18 clients, so we could work around it in the short term by limiting depcheck scheduling to fc18 clients but that's only going to work for so long.

Figure out how difficult it will be to fix this depcheck crash and whether or not it's worth fixing in the short term.
