how best to resolve dependencies

I use this pure rpm command-line way to check for full package dependency
resolution before burning a DVD:
    mkdir /tmp/rpmdb
    rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/rpmdb
    pushd trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages
    rpm --dbpath /tmp/rpmdb --test -Uvh *.rpm
    ...

I do the pungi build install steps separately from split media, and after
the build and install:

pungi -c pungi-f13.cfg -G -B -C --name=IE --ver=trunk-f13 --nosource --force

I see that I have some duplicative packages:

[root at FC13BUILD installer]# ls trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages/gcc-*
trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages/gcc-4.4.4-10.fc13.x86_64.rpm
trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages/gcc-4.4.4-2.fc13.x86_64.rpm
trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages/gcc-c++-4.4.4-10.fc13.x86_64.rpm
trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages/gcc-gfortran-4.4.4-10.fc13.x86_64.rpm
trunk-f13/x86_64/os/Packages/gcc-gfortran-4.4.4-2.fc13.i686.rpm

Is there anyway to prevent that?   Is there a better way to check that all
dependencies are resolved based on the manifest?
