I think I just checked in the correct fix to that one. localinstall
packages aren't in any of the packagesacks, they're just standalone
packageobjects which have a fakerepo associated with them. So we need to
explicitly look at them to be sure. I implemented it by having it look
through the transaction set for all packages being installed and see if
they provides what it wanted. It all resolved correctly after that,
though that might not be the most time-efficient search.
