[conda] local packages reported as unsatisfiable dependencies by conda_build.api.render()

[Paul Madden]

My meta.yaml specifies (in the "host" section), some local packages as
requirements. The package builds fine with "conda build", i.e. all the
required packages are indeed available, and "conda render recipe" on the
command line gives good output with no complaints.

But programmatically calling conda_build.api.render() on this recipe, I see:

Returning non-final recipe for nmc-bec-0.1.0-0; one or more dependencies
was unsatisfiable:
Build: None
Host: conda-libbacio, conda-mpich, conda-libw3nco, conda-libnemsio,
conda-lapack, conda-libsp, conda-libw3emc

Assuming it's true that the ability to actually build this package means
that these dependencies are indeed satisfiable, is there something I can do
to either let render() know that it should look for local packages, too, or
at least to silence this warning? Without understanding much about the
conda_build code yet, the only thing I saw that looked like a candidate
solution was passing the "permit_unsatisfiable_variants=True" argument into
render(), but it did not help.

If I'm misunderstanding the warning, I'd be grateful to know that, too.

thanks,

Thanks, Michael -- that did the trick.

Will do on the issue, and hopefully on the PR as well.
