The number of small differences could probably be reduced, but the
main intention of this patch was just to get it in one script. I would
guess we could do some things a bit differently, notably the
test_repo_db_file() part which should not really need to know which
script is being called. The only other part which might be changeable
is the "all packages removed" section, which I am not too keen on
anyway- we are counting on a failure code from ls to get us there.
