It was removed because it was no longer needed.  It would create the
dependency list, which is now created on-the-fly.  It did have the nice
side-effect of showing you which dependencies were missing.

You should do this:

./getnotincomps.py  /home/FC2/fedora-load  i386

Make sure that you have the base/ files in /home/FC2/fedora-load/Fedora.

However, getnotincomps.py does not do what getfullcomps.py did for me:
check dependencies.  getnotincomps.py just--well, I haven't really
figured out what it does :o(  It looks like it tries to print out
dependencies, but it gets hung on aspell-sv for some reason.
