Currently the RSB reads the configurations then executes the logic needed to
check when the time comes. Consider building RTEMS, where this failure happens,
and we check for a valid binutils and gcc which do not exist because the build
set has to build them at the beginning. Moving away from this requires package
information and dependence information and I have and still are resisting
adding this.

The RSB could manage dependencies between the packages but this has a few side
effects that draw it into the package manager area and I wish to avoid so I am
considering some other approaches that will join up with the requirement to
manage specific builds of a each package in a build set. I wish to deal with
this item first so we can start to automatically build a view of failing
packages.
