You should probably look at who wrote check-reqs in the first place,
and why it was designed the way it was... You'll note in particular how
the code just has a best attempt at finding a solution, and how it
deliberately just gives a warning message, not a fatal error, if
either it can't figure out whether a requirement is met or if it
thinks that one isn't. You know, as if it were designed under the
assumption that accuracy wouldn't be possible...

Or you could just post more noise to the list in an attempt to stir up
trouble. Your call.
