Yes, that's the problem. Jeff Sheltren's yumgroups.pl doesn't work for
ill-named RPMS. The following regexp:

    # get the package name from the filename
    if($_ =~ /^(.*)-([^-]+)-([^-]+)\.[^.]+\.[rR][pP][mM]$/) {
        $index{$1}++;
    }

will not properly grok filenames like:

TIVguid-5.1.5.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API-5.1.5.i386.rpm
TIVsm-BA-5.1.5.i386.rpm
RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
