Petulant buildbots

Hi,

Recalling from my memory (might not be accurate): whenever you first
activate one xsl stylesheet, some entry remains somewhere and then
subsequent builds fail unless that package is still installed.

On the buildbot this is a problem because all packages were most
likely once installed. The same problem is there in trace mode: it
lacks the packages which are not really dependencies, but the build
fails just because they were once activated (and still are, only not
visible by the trace mode).

I would have to dig, but I'm sure there must be some threads or
tickets about this topic. I often had problems with this.
