It'd be helpful to have a code snippet to replicate:


import yum
y = yum.YumBase()
y.doGenericSetup(cache=1)
pl = y.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow='all')
pl.installed[3].returnPrco('provides')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/repomd/packageObject.py", line
224, in returnPrco
    if self.prco.has_key(prcotype):
AttributeError: YumInstalledPackage instance has no attribute 'prco'

This is unrelated to createrepo as YumInstalledPackage is a wrapper
around hdr from the rpmdb.  I'd agree this is a bug we probably want an
importFromHdr analagous to importFromDict from YumAvailablePackage that
populates things.
