This script has a couple of problems.  First, it doesn't take dependency 
loops into account.  For example, if package p requires q and q requires 
p, then both will be marked as non-root.  Second, if the mirror was used 
for both an x86 and x86_64 installation, it always uses the x86 
setup.ini, regardless of the current architecture.
