The only thing that uses profiles.desc is repoman, which can "handle" multiple profiles listed. ... I just found that all duplicates have been removed from profiles.desc. I guess people don't like noise. ;) Okay. For the time being, there's a two things that can be done with repoman. It could print out a table of the profiles it will use for scanning or add the profile that was checked against into the arch-based failure message. What do you think?
