Except that the depsolving is done by rpm libraries which are C, so invalid

I was told by JBJ that the cause of the memory bloat is rpmlib
maintaining in memory two lists of filepaths from every package
involved. One is apparently trying to detect symlinks by holding device
and inode information along with the filepath, and the other is a btree
type representation of each path level that is rapidly searchable. He
had ideas for fixing both if anyone wants to reach out. I took a look
at the sources and crept away with my tail between my legs.
